I’m guessing Rush is on about it because he believes that the people at the very top pushing to change change football don’t really give a damn about football or football players. They hate football. They despise everything it represents. It’s too male. It’s too imperialistic and American. They want it eliminated. So, like gun legislation, they will start small. A lawsuit here. A changed rule there. In the editorial columns of newspapers, in the stories promoted on Yahoo! and AOL, repeat the mantra, ‘football is dangerous’, ‘football is dangerous’, ‘football is dangerous’... Then the Marxists in the local school boards will start suggesting that football is too dangerous for little Johnny and little Leroy to be playing. When some little boy has an accident or dies suddenly on the field they politicians will stand next to his corpse and say, “How many more must be sacrificed to the machine?” Just like gun control. The ones at the top of the gun control movement want the private ownership of all firearms to be a felony. Period. The ones at the bottom may not be thinking that today but when it comes around to it they will say, “Yes, they are probably right” and start calling the snitch-lines to rat out their gun hiding neighbors. Same with the Boy Scouts. The movement to ‘Fundamentally change’ the US ratchets forward.
I’m not too worried about football going away.
It’s making FAR TOO MUCH $$$ at both the pro and college level for that to happen.
Follow the money.
The typical college soccer game draws hundreds of people.
No way are schools giving up that football gravy.
I like your analysis, and let me apply the ‘retribution’ lens to the situation.
The teams are owned exclusively by white people. Most of the players are black.
If there were EVER an institution you wanted to wreck in the Obama era, its football.
Talk about retribution - all those white people being sued out of their luxury boxes to free the poor black slaves breaking their asses out there in the hot sun and blowing snow.
I can see Obama loving the downfall of the NFL.
