To answer your questions:

"Derogatory," at its very basic definition, is synonymous with negative. Basically, I was asking you to avoid making negative comments in regards to North American Football as it would only detract from the purpose of the thread.

And yes, I do like football/soccer. I much prefer to play it over the American-style game, but again, that is a topic for a different thread. If you wish to discuss that sport, please start a new topic.
