re: Why is football such a target in the media?

A rational person also wouldn't trust the NFL's hired experts.

i don't. the problem is that the Union didn't even get experts because the players gave 0 fricks about concussions

Giving a shite about your employees' health doesn't make you an emotional nutcase.

player safety is directly negotiated in the CBA

that's why there are fewer practices, OTAs, etc. the NFLPA gave a shite about THAT aspect of player safety and negotiated for it

But reducing it to merely an issue of emotion makes me wonder if you're a sociopath.

i'm talking about analysis and argument. emotional arguments are basically worthless

ignoring reality to make the NFL a bad guy instead of the organization that had a duty to the players is an emotional argument

this is a 2 question discussion

is player safety an area negotiated in the CBA? yes

is the NFLPA the organization with a duty to the players when negotiating the CBA? yes
