It's not an article any football fan would neccessarily want to read, or a topic theyd want to be contemplating, but it's asking some pretty serious questions. Just putting it out there for ones that might want to read it.

New Yorker article on Football, CTE.....

"I won’t tell you exactly what it’s about, but this is typical of what might happen,'' he said. "I said, ‘Tom, do you want to do this?’ He said, ‘I don’t think I do. I think it’s too much or too strong or whatever.’ I said, ‘well, we might have to.’ And he goes, ‘well, if we have to, then you’ve got to tell me, because I won’t do it.’ And I said, ‘OK, then I might have to tell you. Fine.'''

Long ass article.
Dog fighting the dogs don't have a choice. They're forced to fight. Last time I checked football players have the choice to play or not.

Listen to me Randy, it doesn't matter if you're white, or black, or a Sasquatch even. As long as you follow your dreams, no matter how crazy or against the law it is. Except for Sasquatch, if you're a Sasquatch the rules are different.- Meatwad

Personally I think the dog fighting parallell attempt was the least thought provoking portion of the article and can be skipped without losing much.
