Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Congress gets an earful about the NFL's shabby treatment of disabled ex-players. Plus: A new college rating system in time for the NBA draft.
  • Hyperbole much?

    "In one of the most dangerous sports in the history of mankind, only 300 players are receiving disability payments?"

    It's statements like this that are at the root of the current level of political distrust in this country. Anyone with a passing knowledge of the Greek, Roman or any Central American empires (to name but a few) could tell you that American Football is in no way the "most dangerous sports in the history of mankind". Not even close.

    No one's saying these Ex-NFL players don't deserve our support. But political idiots do their own causes a disservice when they proclaim crap like this!
