Saving American football - Chicago Tribune

Liberalism has set it's sights on anything traditionally manly in society. Guns, the military, the police, testosterone, big fast cars, big dogs, smoking, fatty foods, sport fighting.

It was only a matter of time before they came after football.

This ObamaLand liberal in the link is foaming at the mouth at the thought of one day having football banned. I suspect he'll find pleny of Dem voters who agree.

You are an idiot.

great comeback

You are an idiot.

No, the writer of that article is an idiot, along with most lefty libtards socialist fools.

But the drive to ban football is beginning in the liberal minds across America.

Football is a nasty, violent game full of masculinity, lifting weights, screaming coaches. Things like coach mandated hair cuts, strict discipline. Extremely judgemental attitudes. Little tolerance for weakness or whining. A demand to push through pain, to get ONLY what you earn. Awards for violent hits and gaining victory over another man.

Yes, a culture that liberals were born to hate.

That is one dumbass liberal. Junior Seau killed himself because he couldn't figure out how to live outside of the game. Period. Liberals will never let a good crisis go to waste.

Yep. Some football players have trouble with finding a new identity. Kinda like when soldiers or cops retire, and they have trouble adjusting to a new life. Very tragic.

But, no reason to ban the sport. Liberals are gonna try though. Notice I didn't say Democrats, because Liberal Republican Jon McCain once tried to ban UFC (mixed martial arts) which medical evidence shows is FAR safer than boxing, football or hockey.

The thread' link features a Chicago Tribune writer who writes about how football injuries/concussions have led to the premature deaths of two football players due to the psychologic impact of brain injuries. He concludes, if football continues to deal with the violence hits it will die. Well he's not a real football fan at all. Whether he's a liberal, leading other liberals to end the NFL or not is a bizarre conjecture.

The writer under attack for being a liberal also wrote the following piece;
Daley pension deal: You've got to be kidding

And he's a liberal?

How long has football been around.

How many players have committed suicide compared to the rest of society.

Are they going to outlaw Rock Bands too ???? I am sure the Nirvana crowd would be for that

Two key figures and this guy thinks he has a case.

Moron.

 

[bucs90]

If he's writing for the Chicago Tribune, one can bet he's not a conservative.

 

[SniperFire]

Liberals want to ban football now?

That's unamerican.


Spread the word.

 

[chanel]

Wow - another example of the pussification of America.

The guy committed suicide. Lots of college students do as well. Maybe we should ban college.

There are a lot of dangerous professions. Could this be just the beginning?

I made this point yesterday. The libs are going after football and Jr. Seau's brain may lead the way.

"Suicide Victim Junior Seau’s Brain May Be Studied and a Look at Five Other NFL Suicides

Junior Seau retired from the NFL in 2010 after approximately 20 years in the sport. He had been drafted in 1990. Just two years after he retired, the linebacker was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest on Wednesday, May 2, 2012. His family may allow Seau's brain to be examined. Although there were reports indicating that his family had agreed to allow the research, it is now being reported that the family is reconsidering. Unfortunately, his suicide is far from unique among former NFL players. Statistics seem to indicate that former NFL players are approximately six times more likely to commit suicide. Here is a look at five other players who also committed suicide."

Who said anything about banning football other than Rush Limbaugh? The gist of the article is parents may decide to keep their kids out of the sport because of the chance of injury. That's not a ban; that's parents trying to protect their kids. There are lots of people working to make the game safer with better equipment and enforcement of rules that prevent teams from paying players to injury their opponents. That doesn't mean they want to banned football; that just means they want to make the game safer and promote sportsmanship, something that just about everyone in the game wants.

Let Obama try to ban Football he would be toast so fast. There is a lot of football fans that would not go for that one bit !! They already regulate it so much they might as well play flag football as it is..

 

[bucs90]

If they wanna play a safe game that has great sportsmanship, they can play soccer.

Football is a violent, ruthless game that wont tolerate losers or softness. Leave it alone.

Liberals have a list of things that are traditionally full of machismo that they hate. Football is one of them.

You are an idiot.

True, given the fact the vast majority of liberals are football fans.
