College Game Day - probably heralds the start of the most popular season of the year, college football. They are showing some of the stadiums around the country, multi million dollar facilities, billion dollar facilities, beautiful structures.
I think it is ironic, that they show these, shortly after the announcement of the lawsuit by the NFL, settling with players over head injuries. These colossal structures, where this game is played, grooming players, who may get a nod from the NFL, to play there .......... I just find that somewhat ironic.
A thought that followed, what is it about people, that they have to be entertained. The ruins in Rome, the Coliseum, will someday in the far off future, these relics of the past, the stadiums, be visited by future tourists.o
Football,, and I love the sport, how and when did it become such an integral part of education. When schools need a levy passed, they threaten to take away ...... sports, football, and generally, the levy passes, the voters bow to the threat.
I wonder also what will be the repercussions of the NFL lawsuit, how far down the chain will it extend. A sports related head injury has no age limits. Since the NFL lawsuit, and it was a landslide win for the NFL, what they have to pay is a drop in the bucket to what it could have been, I can see it filtering all the way down to Little League, the "Tip" of the iceberg.
The season has started ......................
