They have been for a few years, but the critical mass is just now being noticed. Abuse of fans has caught up with them. The President is a fink. |

And the general embarrassment the NFL shows as to their working, white-male base. It is as if they do not want us around. Of course, as I gave them their wish. The President is a fink. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Loss of football fans might be serious but its probably limited to loss of PRO football fans and an increase in college football fans. I'm sure the owners will pay theselves top salaries all the way down. |

I used to be a huge football fan until CTE I now feel sorry for all football players pro or college I watch very little football due to CTE Who wants to watch kids inflict brain damage on each other regardless if its pro or college I watch baseball and basketball.

huh ????? Players in basketball and baseball rarely get their head hit. In football, its a common occurrence. Happens on every single play among multiple players I played football My head was constantly pounded on. In this regard, football practice was a lot worse then the games themselves Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Yeah there are no shots to the head by the big guys sharpened elbows in the NBA. No balls to the head or catchers putting a shoulder into a head in baseball. Lots of head shots in any sport. I will grant you that football is probably the worst for CTE but it is not unique. Every watch a downhill skier crash? How about a car race crash of any of it's multiple flavors.
