Climate change is literally a hot topic on the news and social media lately, but NFL OTAs and training camp are as well. Which made me, a science and football enthusiast, wonder: has the climate changed in the NFL?
I am not talking about actual, physical climate change from varying factors like Matt ‘Matty Ice’ Ryan’s chill demeanor. Rather, I’m speaking figuratively in terms of the less hostile and warmer environment in the League, the atmosphere on the field and in the locker room–specifically, in terms of trash talk.

Trash talk has been a part of the game since its conception and continues to be a part of the game.
