Yep it is. Ironically parents put kiss into soccer and wondered why they had concussions too... Next you'll tell me that Americam hockey is declining due to them too... In all seriousness, hockey had far more concussion issues in the 1990's And early 2000's. Partially due to player reporting or returning too soon.
Domestic violence was even a bigger issue than Trump. Trump might turn people away short term, they'll be bank for the Super Bowl in Minnesota. Why because it is Super Bowl. Those estranged St. Louis And San Diego fans will return for that.
I'm aware of concussion issues in hockey. I almost gave up playing the sport because of them...was a scary time in my life.
CTE is a far bigger issue in sports like football and boxing than it is in sports like soccer or hockey where hits occur at a much smaller frequency. But there is a risk with those sports, too. I still play hockey - I'm well aware.
4,000 women are killed every year by estranged partners.
Why are Trump and the gang not outraged over that instead of the constant yammering about carnage in Chicago?
Not sure about this compulsion to bring up still more problems -- that people are certainly just as concerned about -- to somehow suggest we should not be "yammering" about racist issues, or the crime rate in Chicago...
Sure, let's add all the gun violence, gangs, drugs, poverty, Wall Street fraud, corruption in government, and let's call it "yammering" if that's your thing too, but focus on one problem does not mean there isn't focus on others.
If anything, we've got a few too many problems that no one seems to know how to fix, certainly not Trump, and all gets to a point we just can't focus on all our problems at once. Hell, we can't even get the fundamentals understood about just one of our problems like the one this thread is about just for starters!
I don't understand how taking a knee which sends a message that you will not honor the anthem is actually sending a message against racism. If they want to clearly send a message then make a message! Come out on the field with banners saying you are fed up with cops abusing power or something. That's how you send a message.

The NFL does not allow any signage by players. Players did try that and were stopped.
Look at the forest not one individual tree.
The players get paid to play a game, their personal opinions while in uniform, getting paid, on the playing field have no place there. It really is that simple.
I agree with this! Take religion/politics off the field. But let's go a step farther take it out of schools and government buildings as well.
