Controversial and exhaustively researched, gender expert Warren Farrell’s latest book Why Men Earn More takes as its stunning argument the idea that bias-based unequal pay for women is largely a myth, and that women are most often paid less than men not because they are discriminated against, but because they have made lifestyle choices that affect their ability to earn.Why Men Earn More argues th…

For example football season runs from September to February, baseball is April to October and hockey and basketball are September to June. When is professional football season. When do professional leagues like the Italian league, and all the European and Premier league and South American leagues and even the MLS run, I have no idea.
Most of Europe – Spain (La Liga), Italy (Serie A), England (English Premier League), Germany (Bundes Liga) (probably more too) – all start around the middle of August and end in late April/early May. Each league has their own website in English. So you can always look it up to get more season details. Like where to watch and the different teams.
I don’t watch the South American leagues so you’ll have to google or yahoo something along those lines (if you don’t get the answer here that is). Same with MLS, as an American I don’t even know that. (Nor do I care)
But there you go.

There is a lot of politics attached to the soccer in Europe and in Spain in particular. Rival cities Madrid and Barcelona have a conservative and liberal background respectively and this is clear in their policies. Their fans can get to support one or the other by purely political reasons.
Is there something similar happening in the professional American football? Is there any politics attached to particular football teams? I’ve always liked Redskins but only because of the colours and their logo. I was about to buy a sweater for Xmas but I am afraid I might not know of all the connotations this has. Can anyone comment on this please?
Back in the old days, the Redskins’ owner, George Preston Marshall, was the most notorious racist in the NFL and refused to sign black players even after all the other teams had started to do so. When Marshall gave up ownership of the team in 1970 or so (I can’t remember exactly) that was pretty much the end of an overt political issue being connected to the NFL. Unfortunately, one of the networks has tried to bring right-wing bigot Rush Limbaugh in as a commentator and almost straight off the bat he tried to ignite controversy by politicizing the game (i.e., Donovan McNabb is overrated because he’s black. In fact, McNabb’s TD to INT ratio is one of the best in league history. Limbaugh’s just an idiot).

What professional football team, in your opinion, does the most charity work? And what type do they do?
There are 4 of us in the office that I work in and 3 of them (2 girls and 1 guy) are huge football fans…then there’s me!! I don’t know much about it. They wear jersey’s to work on Fridays and told me (just for fun) that I needed to join them for me to pick a team. Well, they wouldn’t let me pick on color… (haha..kidding)…and I don’t know enough about the players to pick one…so thought I’d see what teams you guys thought did the most charity work and go with that team and start learning a little more about them. Thanks for any info!
Well, I know the Colts do a bunch.
Manning has done so much donation and time spending at the one hospital in Indy that they named it after him.
Dungy has done a lot of work church organizations and also done a lot with prison ministries.
Many of the players have basketball and football camps for young kids in the area. I think anybody who knew Dungy’s attitude knew that him and his team did a lot for the community. President Bush even hired him while he was a coach to head community outreach programs. And then he did all of the work with family stuff and being a good dad programs because of his son dying the year before they won the Superbowl.
And I know president Bill Polian and owner Jim Irsay have contributed a lot too. That’s part of why Indy got the Superbowl in 2012 because the owners have so much respect for Irsay.
The other thing that is cool about the Colts is that they would not keep guys that disgraced the team on the team. If the guy got caught drunk driving, he was gone.
Was a nice refreshing aspect compared to the Indiana Pacers. People have a lot of respect for the Colts and their players in Indiana.
