    It will likely happen before every football game this weekend.

    Fox News will then publish a pearl-clutching compilation of people booing at college football games, and Trump will use that to justify defunding those institutions further.

      i have a suggestion, and that’s that everyone going to one of these events, cue up Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, have multiple copies downloaded on your phone ready to go at whatever public event you’re at ready for that jackass’ moment of silence, and blare it out your phone. count down one two three then whoever’s ready plays at full volume. drown the motherfucker out.

      Makes me glad I stopped watching football years ago when it became clear that we were systematically destroying our childrens’ brains for a chance to destroy their brains further on TV as adults. All in the name of entertainment.

      No thanks.

        Youth sports are tricky. Girls Soccer has nearly the same amount of concussions. (10.2 vs 8.4 per 1000)

        Other sports can be just as dangerous (lacrosse, wrestling, hockey, rugby, etc.)
