As I was watching the World Cup Qualifier match between El Savlvador and the U.S., the annoucner - who was not Mexican because I was watching it on ESPN and not Telemundo - stated, "This is what the U.S. team needed to do in the first 20-30 minutes of the game: penetrate with energy. To get in a nd move the ball." Now being the person I am, I couldn't help but think of how sexually oriented that sounded. "Penetrate with energy"......just something every guy wants to do, why just penetrate? By the time he hits that point he'll have plenty of energy - unless he's really old, and needs his blue diamond.
Pondering about this some more, all sports have some type of sexual personae to them. In almost all sports, there is some type of penetration: wrestling, boxing, MMA all have to penetrate the opponents space; baseball has penetration of the strike zone; soccer, basketball, and football have penetration of the defense to the other end of the field or court. There's also the connotation of catching balls, blocking balls, and saving balls.
Don't hold most known sports to be the only sexual connections: golf has a person hold a long club to control; hockey has the bigger guys smash into the smaller ones (some what like jail in the movies); rugby puts other players on their shoulders to catch the ball; polo has the player riding a horse to hit a ball with a woden stick. So many sports have a sexual connections hidden within them, not purposely, but they are there none the less. Enjoy.
