Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 762747, member: 266"] Bill Rhoden of the NY Times wrote a great article on the NFL settlement last month (too lazy to find the link). To paraphrase, he laid out this exact moral dilemma the NFL's settlement has forced on its fans as a result. The following excerpt sums it up best: "I will continue to cover football as one who appreciates the opportunities the game has provided and as a cultural critic who thinks that football is merely evidence of erosion in the American soul. But the moral pendulum has swung from the owners, the executives and the players who produce football’s violence to the millions who consume it." EDIT - Another sports example of our "erosion" are the psycho parents who have bastardized our youth sports culture.
