Or, by 2 to 1, most people aren't busybodies who seek to dictate the terms and conditions of everyone else's lives.

No, most people do care. They just recognize that it's not an appropriate function of government to ban businesses from doing business where they choose.

And who made you God and gave you the power to tell others how to run their business?

BTW, if you care for people overseas why don't you go over there and help them?

I do care and the NFL for the most part is taking the appropriate steps for player safety. That is all I can ask for. That said, hockey is HUGE especially in Eastern Europe and couldn't you know, they too have concussion worries. In fact many players goto America for the NHL from Europe. Why not just start there besides your obsession with ending the NFL if you could.
