    I found out a couple of years ago that University of Washington, the huge money-making football team, doesn’t share the money with the university and pays their coach millions of dollars. Why isn’t any of that money going towards the athletes? Those kids are making bank for the football team with no guarantees of making any money later from it or staying healthy.

      Why is there a sport continued to be played with such devastating effects on the human body?

        Because people are adults and can make their own decisions.

        Kids football should absolutely be flag football though
