Ah...a big name sues the NFL.

Nice.

Given the league's sudden penchant for celebrating homosexuality, I hope this lawsuit bankrupts the entire corrupt organization.

Rush predicted this not too long ago - along with pro football being taken down by the loony left. Looks like it’s starting.

This is amazing:

RIGHT when Rush said the NFL was about to go all to hell, it did EXACTLY that..!

The process is proceeding with breath-taking speed —accelerating.

Just wow.

That’s what caused him to have a child out of wedlock.

The NWO types probably wanted soccer to be the replacement for football, but looks like that's not gonna happen.

Scandals galore in soccer land as well, not to mention the coming nightmare of the Brazilian World Cup, soccer hooliganism, head injuries from bumping the ball off the head, game fixing, Qatar's bribes to get the World Cup on 2022, etc.

Looks like the Official World Sport will have to be Tiddlywinks.

So the concussions caused him to never save any money from 13 years playing, plus endorsements?

He just offered my neighbor $3M cash for her house, so I think he’s doing OK.....

I don't think he ever got hit in the pros. Don Shula babied his quarterbacks. Marino would stand and point at a fumbled ball on the ground rather than cover it.
