Euro-weenie ping.

[LauraJean]

John Kass is NOT a euro-weinie or limpwristed liberal. He is a regular guy and a conservative writer for the Chicago Tribune.
He was the one that started calling Jesse Jackson “the king of bud” due to his sons getting the beer distributorship in Chicago.
He a mighty foe against the Dailey Machine, and the Illinois combine.

Cut him a little bit of slack. He’s a good guy and while you may disagree with him on football. He is not a white wine and veggie quiche person.

[Alberta's Child]

You may not like to face this, but I agree with the author that football is dying. There are a whole bunch of reasons for this, but at the end of the day there's just the simple truth that more and more people are deciding that the long-term health risks simply aren't worth it. These sad tales of suicides and a litany of post-career health problems are only going to make it worse over time.

It's become such a fabricated spectacle anyway, when you think about it ... operated in the U.S. mostly by two large organizations (the NFL and the NCAA) that would be considered illegal rackets in almost any other industry.
