Perhaps I’m reading from the wrong outlets, but the big black eye placed on the face of the NFL of the offseason isn’t getting much coverage. We shouldn’t be talking about Tom Brady’s ongoing legal battle. We shouldn’t be talking about the Ravens’ transgressions against the CBA, either.
No, the biggest blow to the already diminishing reputation of the NFL this offseason over the last few months has been the string of events related to brain injury.
I love football. Even as we learn more about the harm that it poses to players, I find the game itself incredibly compelling.
