Well, first of all, I don't really care what's banned and what isn't if that's the point of the thread. I don't support banning football.
I'd also agree that football gets more media scrutiny b/c of it's popularity. But let's also not forget the disturbing rash of brain-trauma related stories with NFL players. It's not like the media is making stories up -- there is plenty of documented evidence that these NFL and college guys are experiencing serious issues related at least in some way to the repeated brain injuries.
I'm not saying the media's making it up and I'm not saying that football doesn't have a concussion issue. What I'm saying is that it's talked about much more than soccer because football is this country's sport.
