But I think the head injury issue might completely kill youth and college football because of parental concerns and the risk of huge lawsuits.
Once the pipeline of young talent dries up, I don't know how you can staff 32 professional teams for 20 or more games per year.
As to Tebow, I think the guy has enough talent to be an excellent second string QB.
But, three NFL coaching staffs have taken a long look at him, and all of them released him.
Bottom line - the coaches get paid to win, and it's hard to believe they would harm their own careers by succumbing to some kind of alleged religious bias.
Tebow is far better than half of the 2nd string quarterbacks in the NFL right now.
But the fact is, that's exactly what they did.
These are the same coaches and managers who bent over backward to give Michael Vick a "second chance" (while he smirks and sneers at those who buy into his pseudo-rehabilitation.) The same coaches and managers who have - virtually all of them - felons and felons in training on their teams.
These are the same coaches who tolerate overt thuggery on and off the field. Who say nothing as their cash cows flash gang signs and pander to the coarsest elements in hip-hop "culture."
And then there is their tacit approval of Islam and the adoption of NOI with its anti-Semitism and overt hostility to everything American by their players.
As ansel12 said in his post "...they just flat cut him out, removed him."
It's pretty hard to win games when your team mates turn into stone-handed oafs - but only when *you* are on the field.
Let's face the truth:
If Tebow had broken out a prayer rug and bowed to Mecca every time he scored, the league and its sycophantic press corps would have done every thing possible to see that he had only the best receivers, the best coverage and every other break they could possibly give him.
But to them, Christianity is a tumor and as ansel12 pointed out, they simply had to remove it.
