Back to EpisodesWhy the NFL Buried the Pro Bowl and Turned Football into a Slot Machine | Ep 1227
Description
The NFL killed the Pro Bowl the same week it stacked more health and safety fouls. Fear of a lawsuit. Fear of CTE. Fear of being called racist or sexist if we miss a quota. The men running football are afraid of football, so blocking and tackling leave, and gambling fills the hole. Watching our national pastime is sitting at a slot machine hoping your props cash. America used to love foolish risk: Evel Knievel, Fonzie, Sean Taylor hitting Brian Moorman. Moorman framed the jersey. Do not be afraid. We are afraid.
