I suppose you will be all in for banning football? Jeezus,’it is a volunteer sport where people get paid to bash eAch other. No one is forcing them to play.

Why would I "be all in for banning football"?

This is a Free Republic, isn't it?

No, the associated legal costs (i.e., - the lawyers) will eat the sport alive.

Eventually, many of the best will also realize that dain bramaged is no way to go through life.

I believe they have come to an agreement with players on head injuries.

All future contracts will contain language relieving the league in perpetuity for any associated injuries incurred while playing or because of playing the game.

All members of the league are adults who are free to enter into contracts. They are free to put their lives and health on the line for immediate gratification, IE: MONEY. No different than a release signed by a person who participates in other dangerous sports like Sky Diving.

In a way you are right, the liberal scum in this country will eventually kill football. Without bread and CIRCUSES, the only thing left to do will be to fight or decay from within. (probably both)
