Ravens' John Harbaugh passionately defends game of football

As the game of football faces questions about its future, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh once again vehemently came to the defense of the game.

Harbaugh sounded off on critics of football, saying it instills values in young men that are vital to our society. This comes after football has received increased scrutiny over issues of concussions and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, a degenerative disease found in people who have suffered a severe head injury.

"I see a lot of people out there who are pretty passionate about attacking football. I think it's about time some people were passionate about defending football," Harbaugh said at this week's NFL owners meetings.
