N.F.L. Tried to Influence New Concussion Research, Congressional Study Finds
The problem that I see with the NFL is that they are essentially a monopoly on American Football.As a fan, I don't really have any choices. I detest many things that the NFL does, can't believe some of the players are allowed to play the game after what they do outside of work, etc. yet I have no option if I want to watch football. Combine this with the fact that NFL football is culturally ingrained in many peoples lives and you end up with a behemoth that can't be stopped. Even if I wanted to boycott the NFL (more than I do as-is), the game will be on at literally every food/drink establishment I enter, people will be talking about it (and playing fantasy) at work, and on Thanksgiving, my family is going to watch football, that's just how it is.I really wish there was some alternative. I would gladly support a league of slightly worse players if it wasn't as scummy as the NFL has proven itself to be.
