Word on the web is that the Department of Justice in 2011 approached the NFL about concussions. A lot of former players have these concussions, and they were going to file law suit after lawsuit against the NFL and the owners. Moreover, even lawsuits of fixing of some of the games.
However, they made some sort of agreement with the NFL, and it has never been the same since. This is when the NFL really became political like pushing Obamacare and not hitting players too hard, etc... That did not go over well and quickly vanished.
Really sad what happened. I loved the NFL. I had been watching it since about 5 years old.
Whatever be the case I’ll never look at it the same way again. I even tried just looking at the highlights last night. I could only look for 10 seconds and became enraged thinking about the players kneeling. This game is suppose to bring us together and not be politicized to tear us apart.
Agreed.
No matter what happens from here on,you and I and a lot of former fans will never be able to look at the NFL the same again.
lifelong fans,BURNING their gear...
It will never be the same
