The National Football League
1. causes football players
to hurt and kill themselves
with neck, knee, head, eye injuries.
2. causes them to harm others
with the same injuries
3. in encouraging the smashing
and tackling of their opponents,
the NFL encourages domestic violence
4. and child abuse
5. and programs the population
to war.
6. As gladiators were killed for the amusement
of the tyrant emperor and the coliseum mob
in ancient Rome, so football players are the
victims of financial greed and a lust for blood and excitement.
7. Cheerleaders objectify and debase women.
Dan Diamond writes in Forbes: “NFL players suffer repeated blows to the head every Sunday. A star player …will get tackled hundreds of times every year. And there is evidence to suggest that all those hits to the brain may increase the propensity to commit domestic violence.” Two NFL players are in the news for violence at home, The NFL recently paid 750 million dollars to the many football player victims of permanent spine, paraplegia generating and other injuries… but the injuries continue.)
