[redliner]

Did you know it takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a year's supply of footballs.

Tebow is God

Well I don't think Tebow is God Porter, but he's sure as hell is making football interesting, you don't know what's gonna happen in a Broncos game to the last minute. Hell of a good time!

Maybe it used to be made of pigskin
Why is Great Britain so named ?

The inner bladder that holds air used to be an actual bladder... a pig's bladder.

I gotta admit I'm surprised it's not made out of a synthetic material now

The theory that it's wrong to kill people but it's OK to kill cows and other animals doesn't add up to me, as animals should have the same rights as people despite having lower intelligence. This is especially true if animals are sacrificed over something that's for the mere entertainment for humans.

So we shouldn't eat meat?

if the leather came from cows slaughtered for human consumption its not a problem,its a by product

Leather is largely a by-product of the beef industry.
