Well, it seems as though there is always something going on in the NFL today. First, the Saints' and all that goes with that--appeals, punishments, etc. still in the news and now, the list of players filing lawsuits for past concussion injuries gets longer and longer. What in the world is going on? It's really kind of sad and takes away from the love of the game! I am not sure of how I feel about the NFL not doing enough to inform the players about the dangers in the past or today. Maybe, maybe not--but doesn't common sense kind of tell them that it's dangerous? I mean football is very aggressive by its nature to the point of violence. Is the same thing happening in boxing? because that's even worse to me--there is no protective equipment whatsoever.
Our culture is so desensitized to violence--people forget how violent these sports are--it's the mentality of needing more and more action, violence -blood and guts and gore, and destruction to the point where it is never enough. Does anyone agree? Would love to hear your thoughts and comments--
To end on a more happy note--I read this headline about Michael Phelps this mornin--at last something positive in the sports world---
The Baltimore native slashed more than four seconds off his season-best time Friday and held off a late charge form Tyler Clary to win his second race in two days at the Indianapolis Grand Prix. Beside, could he really disappoint mom?
Have a great day and God Bless-
Jennifer
