Playing football is a risky undertaking. It is legally violent. It involves large men running into each other
at high speeds. So what?
It’s less violent than the impact sustained by
high divers in a dive gone badly. It’s
less violent than any of the impacts sustained by any driver in any motor
sport. It’s less violent than a hunter falling
out of a tree stand. It’s less violent
than crashing your bicycle. Everyone I know who rides a bicycle for
exercise has experienced at least one horrible crash. Yet there is no hue and cry to end the
carnage on two wheels. You’re probably better off having your teen age son
playing football than riding a motorcycle.
Motorcycles are crazy dangerous even under the most controlled
situations. Football is probably less
violent than a horse owner getting kicked, stomped, bit or nearly killed by a
head butt from his equine buddy. All of which
have happened to yours truly. Wiping out
on a Surfboard is violent as hell. The
list could on to include all manner of things including roofing, auto mechanic,
etc.
The bottom line is that life itself is a risky
business. We climb into automobiles about
every day and hurl ourselves down highways at 70 MPH. That’s risky.
I believe football is on the way out. Not because it is inherently dangerous, as
noted above, a lot things we do are inherently dangerous. Football is the peak of alpha maleness. So it
has to go. Lefty Libs cannot tolerate
this testosterone laden sport. They
cannot stand the fact that so many “bitter clingers” enjoy the sport. So they want to end it. But how do you get rid of the nation’s most
popular sport?
Well first you start the drip, drip, drip of
health concerns. Then you make games so
long people cannot afford to invest the time to watch. Then you make it so the average fan can’t
understand the rules. Then you take the game
out of the hands of those on the field and put it in the hands of a guy in suit
in the press booth or even more ridiculous a guy in a studio in NY City. Then you get high profile players to turn the
game political and use their athletic platform to protest America and leagues
allow it. Then you get the nation’s premier
sports network to spend more time talking about the politics of sport than the
games.
If football is to survive, someone like Herm
Edwards needs to have a heart to heart with league big shots, player’s union
reps and his own network’s brass. It’s a
simple question: Do you want to wreck
the sport that has brought us all to where we are? If the answer is, no, then the solution is
simple, knock it off. For those who
answer yes, show them the door.
Football is in the beginning of its end. A friend coaches little league football. They used to form 3 teams and have to turn
kids away. This year they can barely get
two teams together.
Wake up America. The assault on football is just another Left Lib
play to destroy the fabric of America and the American male.

I do not know how in the world I missed this. The “this” in this case are Melania’s shoes worn during the trip to board AF-1 to travel to TX. Apparently the former model wore a pair of impossibly high, high heels while boarding Marine-1 to hop on AF-1, and the press went nuts. What the dumbazzes apparently did not know was that there was change of clothes awaiting FLOTUS aboard AF-1. When she arrived in TX she was sporting a pair of tennies.
YGBSM! This woman is criticizing Melania's fashion snese |

Yeah, who knew it was a big deal? Well, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a
horrible disease. One of the most devastating
symptoms is the inability not to hyperventilate over even the most innocuous things
regarding PDJT. As an indication of just
how unrelentingly petty those suffering from TDS are, this morning PDJT is
taking heat for donating a cool million to TX recovery.

70 percent of NFL players are black. Yet they are only 6 percent of the population. I wondet why? The fan base of the NFL is 84 percent white. And here is real shocker. Only 0.2 percent of NBA players are Asian! I throw this out there to confuse the discussion. But if we want to slow the game down and lessen the hard impacts, the NFL could go to all white players. Stop kickoffs and punts. If still too many injuries then stop tacking and make them play on their knees. Of cousre the NFL will die quickly. To Lex's point.
