When all else fails

[Catamite]

Lets talk about football
which is perfect
because it's enclosed within and is its own form
and doesn't worry its rules about wars
receives its players like lovers more even
never refuses. Thrills - and cannot be sick
on a bare patch of ground anywhere
a ball and its players.

Do I sense sarcasm? :D

I don't get the second to last line (can't be sick on a bare piece of ground)

What did you mean there? If you don't mind me asking.
