Gee, I always thought sports was about competition.
If I have no interest in sports, what does that mean?

You still didn't respond to my post. You just picked parts of it to respond to. I wish you would entertain my entire concept rather than only respond to certain parts of it. I do believe there is a large conspiracy within the media with the goal of propagating sexual perversions. However I think that your metaphorical analysis is quite a stretch.
I suppose the idea that you "score", "make a goal" or "home run" would seem sexual to you? However the sexualizing of sports terms came after the sports were created. "First base", "second base", "third base" and "home run" or "scoring" came after the creation of baseball. These terms were sexualized, as all things are, by the male teenagers. The terms were not created before baseball and then incorporated into the sport. This is an example of taking something that already exists and later applying sexual innuendos to it.
This is why I think your theory is flawed. You can't see the difference between taking something that already exists and applying innuendoes to it (which is perfectly normal), and a program created specifically for the purpose of subliminally promoting sexual perversion.
If I wanted to make a sexual innuendo about football it is much easier than you think: a bunch of sweaty men wearing skin tight pants and a jock strap dogpiling each other and the one holding the ball on the bottom of the pile wins; followed by a trip to the locker room where they all take steamy showers while exposing themselves to each other. All that is true, but is related in such a way that it sounds sexual. That is all the OP is doing in my opinion.

You 'cherry picked' the definition that went along with this dumb OP you've made. It's not a conspiracy theory, just a theory and a dumb one at that. For those of you on ATS who believe this crap, I'll pray.
I swear posts like these are annoying. In my opinion, they make ATS look like some crazy crackpot conspiracy site...oh wait. I wish there was a better system of sorting through the riffraff. Seems like idiots just flag other idiots stuff making the good threads hard to find.
