1. Kill the NFL - that dirty, wealthy corporate leech!

2. Get rid of football - it turns boys into healthy, normal-aggressive, strong bodied youths. We must have weak willed, weak bodied men and boys so fascist/commies can take over more easily.

3. Bring in soccer - that beautiful European game in which there are very few winners and, therefore, is completely un-American.

Bring in soccer

That's not going to do it. Lots of medical testing ties traumatic brain injury to playing soccer for a decade or more. Players average six to twelve headers a game, with the ball going 50 miles per hour or more. Players head the ball 30 times per practice.

Medical researchers call the blows 'sub-concussive,' but have determined that the number of sub-concussive blows result in the same traumatic brain injury and cognitive issues as individuals who have received several concussions.
