Whether that's true or not. I'd be more than happy to meet face to face to find out.

Meh...not really. It's mainly a sport filled with dumb meatheads who will mostly end up broke anyway. If you want to sustain continuous brain injuries because it give you a warm feeling in your shorts, be my guest. Just don't beat your kids and spouses because you can't deal with your testosterone overload.

That is simply not true, however what Gretsky fails to realize as some other here, Football it is a sport that is far from right wing, but yet tries to claim all the left hates it because it is a tough sport. His posting just shows me for what he his. Someone who lacks real knowledge in sports itself, and is simply trying to make it a politically partisan issue.

Football is made up of millionaires and yes it is an easy target, they are by no means the only problem when it comes to abuse, if issues with a national sports franchise comprised of millionaires cannot be held accountable then we are in deep trouble. Complete hypocrisy by the NFL they are not addressing the problem and neither is the legal system for that matter but the NFL with their money and clout are in a position to hold their employees accountable and they have put money ahead of integrity.

Football is not the last bastion of maleness, try commercial fishing or sign up to fight in Iraq if you want to show your testosterone.

I have an idea why it is that suddenly the media is doing nothing but covering the NFL domestic violence.......it's called gearing up for the "war on women". Beyonce does her concert and features the huge sign saying " Feminist" and I recently heard Barry bringing up how the Democrats have a whole group of women getting ready to get out there for the elections.....It's coming...a full blown "war on women" mantra for the 2016 election. So just like when Barry was running, everyone was scared to say anything or be called a racist (like they did to Bill Clinton) and when Hillary runs, nothing will be able to be said about her or people will be called "anti-women".

Get ready for the abortion, birthcontrol, vajayjay, women's right's, women's health, women's pay, drum to start to beating and domestic violence will be part of that spin. We go through this woman non-sense EVERY SINGLE ELECTION and all the old shriveled up hippies that look like men, come out with their professionally printed signs screaming about men and how the right is trying to take away their abortion rights () .....here we go.

BTW...I am a woman and I am an Independent voter.....

LOL! Hockey is tougher, mostly popular in blue states, and its players are almost all model citizens. I know several Nashville Preds, they donate tremendous time and money to charity, and live not in mansions off by themselves, but in the Nashville MTSA general neighborhoods.

"Sissify it?"

Does that mean that you think that there is some correlation between spousal/child abuse and violent sports?
Or that if abuse is discouraged, the sport will no longer be entertaining?

Do tell.
