For those interested in the homebrew: the football starts on the center. A mech on the football spends all combat picking it up. The player declares a battlefist to hold the obj, or a back-winch if no hand actuators are present. Any hit to that arm (or torso for the winch) will cause a D6 roll. On a 1, the football is hit. 3 hits destroys it. On a 6, the ball is dropped. If the football is destroyed, attacker loses as the other two players tally points. Holding the football during the end step gets your team 1 point.
You make the fatal flaw of thinking there's reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.
