I have contributed to the discussion of how to metricate American
football and I'd like to defend myself (and other contributors)
against critics who argue that we should not talk about it.
Although I have contributed to the discussion of HOW to convert
American football to metric, I would like to clarify that I have not
suggested that SHOULD convert American football to metric.
There are values, I think, in discussing (even arguing) among
ourselves about how this could be done. It is an interesting
challenge. However, we don't need to suggest proposing it to the
American public or anyone else.
