Who needs football when you can have “Hunger Games, the Series”?
Well, if the wusses/libs say that some things are just too dangerous then I guess I’ll just have to go to the bedroom, curl up in a fetal position and never come out of the bedroom ever again. Of course, I’ll have to move the computer, refrigerator and stove to the bedroom. Oh, but they won’t fit! Oops! And electricity is dangrous. What a conundrum! /sarc
IDIOTS! Where does it end?
Minorities hit hardest.
I wouldn’t walk across the street to see any football game ever played.
T-football is coming.
Players will carefully run from one end of the field or the other one at a time to a football set on a pedestal. The team with the fasted combined times will take possession of the ball. That team will then walk toward their endzone as the other team tries to talk them out of scoring. Law students will moderate the discussion.
Do we know for a fact Seau’s suicide had anything to do with concussions?
I've always thought that people up East thought that having their kids play rugby, lacrosse, and soccer was a way to one-up the suburban kids -- the ones who were going to hold doors for their kids, say "yes sir" to their kids, get coffee and so on.
The popularization of soccer in particular has been a very RiNO/DiNO thing, a very UMC thing. And the growth of rugby and lacrosse has always been an Ivy League/liberal art school phenomenon, or at least I've thought so.
Football is not going to get banned. But it won’t be as prominent in the future. We’ll see less White kids and Black kids from middle to upper classes playing football. Talent is going to dry up. Just like boxing. Sure, boxing is still around. It’s just not as big as it used to be when Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali were in their prime.
I wonder how the suicide rate of the NFL compares to the suicide rate of the US.
How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football
"History is repeating itself. For whatever issues football has today, they are nothing like the controversy it experienced a little more than a century ago. Back then, injuries were an afterthought — it was the deaths that concerned people. In 1905, there were 18 of them, occurring everywhere from the college gridiron to neighborhood sandlots.
Horrified by the slaughter, a group of progressives crusaded to ban football. They formed a social and political movement whose ranks included the renowned Harvard President Charles W. Eliot, frontier scholar Frederick Jackson Turner, aging Confederate Gen. John Mosby and muckraking journalists."
one of the few times Rush was so boring I turned him off in the first hour.
For how the NFL treated Rush, the thugs(players), the “R” rated commercials during the Super Bowl and the overall liberal tilt of most of the owners. Let them try. At least they would be eating their own.
I haven’t watched or participated in a football game since roughly 1968, but even I know this is not a good thing.
Every time James Harrison gets fined for a clean hit, I get a concussion! Football is killin me, I think it’s Indirect PTSD.
Conservatives will still get blamed.
Race will be the issue.
Conservatives are destroying football because 70% of the players are Black.
