The SJWs are screaming about concussions as usual, but the man I usually abhor actually agrees with me on something. Hopefully when he tackles this issue, he'll take my advice and abolish the NCAA and replace them with people who understand that football is supposed to be a tough sport and wiol repeal the bizarre rule changes that make you wonder if the rules makers were on an acid trip.

Let's make football great again.

There should be a compromise between "Throw a flag every single play" and "Players who don't want their brain to be smashed into jell-o are pussies"

Football is a game. It isn't shouldn't be a big deal. Players getting concussions is a pretty big deal. It says something about SJWs if understanding this equation makes you one.

My preferred route would be if less people played football and the sport died out naturally.

Basketball, however, has absolutely been pussified.

I've watched both football and basketball games recently and they were both perfectly enjoyable to watch, so I think this is just resistance some have to see change. It doesn't actually make the sport bad somehow.

I'm that way about baseball so I can relate somewhat. But I also know it's not all that logical to feel that way. Wink

Football will be flag by the end of the next decade barring legislative action against the NCAA. That's why I want to run for office is to save football from the PC hippies currently running the NCAA and to put a gag on the media from saying a bad thing about it. Unfortunately it's damage control time if we're going to preserve an American pastime.

Rugby is a better sport, IMO. Helmets encourage people to target the head Tongue

I think the last three years have shown me what it feels like to go through a divorce. College football has been rendered unwatchable by this bullsh**t and something I poured my heart and soul into my entire life has been irreparably corrupted. I haven't watched a single bowl game from start to finish this year.

I'm sure people (who have problems worse then a sport becoming boring) feel so much pity for you.

The problem is the fact that the system is so biased towards the SEC and away from conferences like the Big Ten. Penn State got shafted this year.

OP, what do you think the reaction should be if an NFL player ever went full Chris Benoît?  I hope to god that this never happens mind, but it's something that is a hell of a lot more likely if you do nothing on concussion prevention.

The idea that you should prevent the media from reporting facts to protect a sport is the dumbest idea: like I'm a big pro wrestling guy and have watched since I was a kid but I wouldn't still be watching it if they hadn't cut down on the moves that directly cause concussions - it's never going to be 100% safe but it's a hell of a lot better now than it was then...

I actually agree on both counts. Go back to leather headgear!

Personally, I'm outraged that Roman style gladiatorial battles are forbidden in this country. It's a shame I can't enjoy watching others being slaughtered for my entertainment. Americans are such pussies. Just like our military personnel whining about PTSD. Right, Trump? Right, wolverine?

There's something heartening and reassuring about how this loser receives the same intense and richly deserved ridicule no matter where he goes with his impassioned whining about football. Find another hobby, guy, because this is pathetic

Wolverine or Trump?
