To compare apples to apples, how does the suicide rate among former NFL players compare to that of former major league baseball players? I don’t know but would be interested in finding out.
To indicate my bias, I detest football, it’s an ugly game in my view. And I think baseball is the finest sport ever conceived by the mind of man. But that’s just me.
I’m with you, OP. I LOVE baseball. Football, not so much.
I’m not one to tell people what to do with themselves, as long as their actions don’t unduly affect others, but the human body wasn’t made to endure football. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that is in dreamland.
Even if I thought it was fun to watch, I wouldn’t. I consider it to much like the roman gladiator games. I wont amuse myself that way.
It ain't just you. And I'm certainly glad to learn it ain't just me.
Every single NFL game is shown on regular network television. But unless you pay $50+ a month you don't get to watch baseball games other than sat. afternoons and the post-season. We get fewer games on satellite than we used to get on cable.
The MLB channel is a joke. The ESPN stations show a lot of games only for the first couple weeks. Then it's a trickle. And we've gone from getting to follow the Braves, Cardinals, and Reds to just the Braves. Even WGN doesn't show as many Cubs games as it used to.
I'd like to see how NFL fans would react if they were denied their games like we baseball fans are.
