I'm struggling to come to terms with moral ramifications of the violence of football:

I must admit that now and then I watch football and try to imagine how it would look to a visitor from another planet, with so many people paying so much attention to such a game. I have a fleeting moment of discomfort and cognitive dissonance, then I go back to watching and enjoying it.

Boxing didn't lose attention because of injuries to boxers. It happened because of corruption and cheating (dives). People hate cheaters.

Oh Jeez... Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Malcom Gladwell looks like he would suck really bad at football. Haters hate.

I'd like to think the worst of the brain injury issue is behind us, as the previous generation of players had basically no concussion protocol to protect them.

When we automatically medically retire kids like Reshawn Hooker for having three concussions inside a year, it seems to me this generation of players will have much improved results, over the years.

They need to baseline every player with a fMRI, and if that player degrades in subsequent scans, they need to hang up the cleats. The medical evidence will make decisions obvious, at individual and aggregate levels.

My 8 year old had baseline testing. Every kid who plays pop warner does. They take all that v serious. It has changed from when I was kid

Is Canada broadcasting any Ute games this year?
