There is literally a multi million dollar military cult nationalist worship session in the front of the game. Why can't they just play fucking ball instead of these CULT like worship of DEATH?

There are other ball games

Marn Grook, marn-grook or marngrook (also spelt Marn removed[1]) is the popular collective name for traditional Indigenous Australian football games played at gatherings and celebrations by sometimes more than 100 players.

These games featured punt kicking and catching a stuffed ball. They involved large numbers of players, and were played over an extremely large area. The game was subject to strict behavioural protocols: for instance all players had to be matched for size, gender and skin group relationship.

However, to outside observers the game appeared to lack a team objective, having no real rules or scoring system.
A winner could only be declared if one of the sides agreed that the other side had played better.
