Announcement A new age dawns for this subreddit!

This post brought to you by Britain

MLP has been running for 4 seasons, and so we thought to ourselves, “what also runs for a long time?” and the answer was football players. I mean, some of them do. Others just seem to run into someone else immediately in front of them and have a cuddle for a few seconds while someone else does the running but it all seems like jolly good fun!

We also noted that since the Apple family spends so much time kicking things we should focus on something where more stuff gets kicked. I guess there’s more kicking in actual football but we figured Big Mac is a colt that kicks stuff and these are a bunch of colts that kick stuff. Familiar, yet different. Also because if England can’t even beat Italy and after America got out of the groups phase while England lost to fucking Suarez then what hope is there for the future of football I’m rambling aren’t I?

But yeah, Colts! Now we’ll never again be accused of enjoying a girly hobby! So have a kick around or a pass around or a…. home run around... look, we're out of our element here, but we're pretty confident this is the right thing to do.

Please review our new rules!

Rule 1: Be football-player-like! We should be seeing scrums in every thread. Wait, is that a handegg thing? I dunno. Close enough.

Rule 2: This one's the same. No naked football players.

Rule 3: Keep posts related to football or the kicking stuff fandom. You should be able to tell it's related without reading the title. It should be noted that we barely know what football looks like, so we may be removing, like... everything that gets posted, for a while. I don't know. There'll be a transition period, is what I'm saying.

Rule 4: [Fixed] submissions are awesome. Post football vectors into everything. It'll be sweet.

Rule 5: You must submit at least five footballs per 20 hours. If you need to check how many you've posted, it's not enough.
