Do you realize that presidents have been doing this since 1906? Teddy Roosevelt questioned the safety of football, and that resulted in the introduction of helmets and a regulatory body that would become known as the NCAA.
In other words, concerns about the safety of football are not new, but rather renewed.
We are turning into wimps? That is an ahistorical narrative.

Also, college football better respond to this growing chorus of concern (like the NFL has been forced to do) or the game will be outlawed.
Football will be made safer and safer. You can count on that. In 100 years, the game will be as unrecognizable as it was 100 years ago.
