Death of NFL inevitable as middle class abandons the game

[TalkRadio]

To witness the death of the multi-billion dollar National Football League, you really don't need to see sportswriters wringing their hands over the moral dilemma of covering America's Roman circus of brain trauma.

And you don't need to watch multi-millionaire football stars, pampered for most of their lives, ostentatiously disrespecting the American national anthem, kneeling, their raised fists in the air.

It is all about the brain. The brains that are injured in the game, yes, but also about how the human mind works, as the American middle class withdraws from football, a cultural trend that will cut the NFL away from American virtue.

What is virtuous about brain damage? I'd prefer to watch prizefighters. At least prizefighting is honest about its violence. It doesn't wrap itself up in mom and apple pie.

Parents read the news, they know about concussions and CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy. While a recent study wasn't random — brains were donated by concerned families — the analysis by Boston University of brains from dead players showed that of 111 brains from NFL players, 110 suffered CTE, a condition causing depression, psychosis, dementia, memory loss and death.

Anyone playing a game involving repeated head smashes should know their prospects.

Wanna be a fighter? Look at old Muhamed Ali. Watch him drool. You can drool too!

Wanna be an NFL footballer? Look at all the guys who die young, convulsing.

NFL football's only connexion to Amerikkan Values is selling lotsa crap.

And encouraging drinking, gambling, violence, and snack piggery.

NFL football has made the avocado the national vegetable.

There's a moral hiding somewhere in there.

ali is dead so he is most likely not drooling and comparatively, they really don't die any sooner than any other occupation. my preteen is looking to play so i've vetted at exhaustion all of the policies and procedures. drinking, gambling, and violence built this country and guacamole is delish!

Enrol him/her in Rugby not a pussy game like NFL.

I've never been a big fan of the NFL. It looks pretty stupid; four hours of game to see for four minutes of action. Kind of like sex with a Republican.

With Australian Rules Football, action lasts eight or twelve minutes overall. Much better. And no helmet+padding shit. Ah, them lanky Ozzies...

Football: a foot moves a ball-shaped inflatable
Handegg: hands move egg-shaped inflatables

NFL handegg is a pretty boring show. Ya seen three, ya seen them all. Pass the sangria, guac, and genetically-modified maize corn chips. Yummy. Enjoy the sport whilst fattening up. Gonna get liposucked soon?

people kill themselves
daily
to provide for
their families,
perhaps more slowly
and less effectively.

the opportunity for
generational wealth
will continue to draw
enough warm bodies

The middle-class did not abandon football, stupid NFL owners screwed with the game, allowed the toxic PC retard thinking to use the games as a platform and then tried to placate the football hater PC types by show casing anti American ideas and ignored the middle class for years.

And now we the middle class have found other things to do.

NFL did this to itself, enjoy it before soccer replaces it and all those football players are out of work.
