Message: [QUOTE="MadNY3, post: 2637518, member: 441"] Football is under attack. Facebook is under attack. Both will make tons of money in the foreseeable future. Participation rates are eroding rapidly. NFL studies showed that if they don’t get the kid between 8-12, they will never get him. And more parents don’t want their babies/kids to play the sport. What doesn’t get takes about and a study couldn’t get funded was the individual and societal impact the sport - from the specific team dynamics to the role head coaches play to kids in middle/high school - which has very positive indicators. Problem is physical issues - CTE, suicides potentially from CTE, crippling physical health - are tangible. Football makes our armed forces or better men, is not. Fedora’s assertions aren’t wrong at all. But he delivered them in a buffoon manner at a softball-question press event. He looks ignorant. Media training failed him today. [/QUOTE]
