The older I get and the more I learn about it (especially re: injuries to players) the less I like American football.

honestly? i wouldn't let my child play football. it's too scary.

It is, and people who worship the NFL get too defensive when it gets brought up. I can't watch people endure brain damage for my entertainment. :/

I hate the response that "people are just getting to soft now." As if it's a bad thing to behave differently when we have more information????

Yeah, if caring about other people's health makes me soft, I'm okay being soft.

Yes it is, especially when the PARENTS start fights and actually rush the field to ATTACK a CHILD they think is purposely is hurting their kid. So fucking embarrassing. They are supposed to be the ADULTS.

The fuck is wrong with adults who behave in that manner?
