Perhaps all black men should be banned from football because it is too rough? Because they are exploited by being forced to accept millions for their athleticism? Really? The mag is called Scientific American, but it is neither Scientific, nor American.

Overkill, SA. Total overkill. Proving you aren’t scientific, you’re political, just like the CDC.

Time to "follow the drinking gourd" to freedom (and one tenth the salary) in the Canadian Football League.

Wow you really have to be an idiot, racist, fraud or all of the above, to write this article.

Blacks have most of the positions and money in football so they are victims. Incredible.

In my youth white kids used to play football in my neighborhood.

All survived without substantial injury I am happy to say.

If the game is too violent, don’t play it.

We played tackle football without helmets or pads... kind of crazy looking back at it. We were free range where I lived...

Would be amusing if full-contact football evolved into touch football. Imagine if they started handing out the equivalent of soccer red cards for deliberate hits.

I’ve never heard of racial stacking in any sport. Coaches recruit and play players at their best possible position.

In my opinion people having a build substantially different than mine should not be allowed to play in the NFL (or make the big money (I’d rather have)).

We are already there. Tom Brady. Not 100%. But we are on our way.

Who knows if football will even survive in this environment? Masculinity itself is ‘toxic.’
