The NFL..... I think I am over it, are you?

[nil desperandum]

128. Money

I am not suggesting nothing can be done, I am suggesting nothing of substance will be done because most people are not really concerned about what happens to football players.

I believe when money, in the quantities that the NFL and college programs generate, is involved child safety no longer matters. I am basing that opinion on the complete lack of action to change any of this. If during the normal operation of any consumer product like a hair dryer there were let's say 136,000-300,000 injuries requiring medical intervention and 6 months after the initial injury a third of those injured were still not recovered from their injuries how long do you think that product would last on the market?

With football we appear willing to forgive that level of injury as part and parcel of participation.

Can you name any other profession where during the normal course of performing that work your life expectancy would be reduced by 20 years after suffering numerous minor head injuries and a few more serious concussion injuries and nothing would be done about it?
I can't, thus I can only assume we don't give a sh1t what happens to football players.
