Jimmy the Greek tried to explain this back in 1988 and everybody got pissed off at him.

I think the peak in participation among youths in football was 20 years ago. There’s too many distractions today. And I am not even talking about the woke crap.

[Third Person]

Tom Brady has taken plenty of really big hits over his 20 (!) plus years in the league. One of the toughest and most durable quarterbacks ever.

[Dahoser]

I clicked through and it really isn’t the Babylon Bee. I had to see for myself.

[shadowlands1960]

I watched it when it happened.. even back then I knew he just lost his job.

[IncPen]

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

Aha! How many hockey players are black!?

[Rummyfan]

Black men play football. They are in fact the majority of professional football players. It is a violent game. Therefore they experience violence playing the game.

[Seruzawa]

It’s just amazing what utter crap gets printed in Pseudo-Scientific American now.

[SuperLuminal]

Just think of how they would fare if football was still played by the rules pre-1990s...

That was when football was a real blood and guts sport...

It’s gigantic amount of water he drinks every day.
The guy is like a hydraulic shock absorber.

[Rummyfan]

I’ve been predicting this, as now the overwhelming number of players are black, and we do see white parents discouraging their kids from playing football out of concern for their long-term health.

Conversely, there is so much gnashing of teeth that blacks are no longer pursuing baseball. If they don't want to play baseball, so what? Who can force them to do so?!

[Jeff Chandler]

Science.

[SlipperySlope99]

Exactly the only reason Tom Brady is playing football at 45 years old is due to the rule changes favoring offense and particularly how you can barely hit QB’s now without it being called a penalty.

[Taxman]

More racist BS!

I am SICK TO DEATH OF THE PSEUDO-RACISM being thrown about by LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Fascist anti-American pimps who seek at every turn to destroy the USA!

Please he was barely touched I’ve seen worse in pro wrestling and that’s totally scripted and fake.. damar is a victim of the vaccine 24 yr olds don’t literally drop dead on the field from a simple tackle

[logi_cal869]

Good thing I don’t watch it. /s

[shadowlands1960]

I haven’t watched the NFL for about 6 years... whenever it was the Cowboys took the knee...

[nickcarraway]

Remember when black Joe Theisman broke his leg when white Lawrence Taylor tackled him?

[nascarnation]

I was not familiar with this phenomenon but my daughter showed me a chest shield made of ballistic fiber that she purchased two years ago that my grandson wears for baseball and football.
