The President is sometimes able to look at things from a new angle to shed light on them. He has been able to do this for the football controversy on player concussions and long term brain damage.
Yes, we all like to watch the Super Bowl. Yes we all root like mad for our college team. But, in an online interview, Barack stated that, assuming that he had a son, "he would have to think long and hard before letting him play football."
Yes. This is the true measurement. Just as black equality or gay equality do not exist until you can welcome them into our place of business and your church, so is football not a safe sport if we no longer are willing to encourage our sons to make a twenty year career out of the sport.
On that basis, we can now say the NCAA has a problem now- and that the NFL has an even bigger problem. and it is a problem that neither group is truly willing to deal with- because MONEY is whispering into their other ear.
