re: Michelle Beadle is done with CFB and the NFL (updated)

I don’t disagree with some of her premise when it comes to the NFL. It really is disconcerting to be a woman watching the sport and see a player land a tougher punishment for PEDs or weed than beating the frick out of a woman or kid. And I wish more people would take Goodell to task for it.

And there is absolutely an issue among college athletics as a whole when whole athletic departments turn a blind eye to abuse (see: Michigan State, Penn State).

I just think she misses her mark about making it just about women or people of color. Or boycotting just football as an analyst who covers football (and I don’t blame anyone for calling her on that). We’ve seen children, large groups of children, get abused and covered up for the sake of sports. But make no mistake, we’ve got some issues behind the lights of pro and college sports right now.
