Interesting article by Michael Silver for GQ, talking about concussions and what is being done about it:
Quote:
Fujita:
Everybody doubts the league's sincerity. Quit pretending to be the flag-bearers for our health care and safety when you're telling us in the next sentence that we need to go to eighteen games. That doesn't cut it. Obviously you don't give a #### about our health and safety. Remember that photo of [Steelers linebacker James] Harrison making a hit on [Browns receiver Mohamed] Massaquoi? They fined him $75,000 for that—and at the same time, they were selling it on NFL.com for $24.99. They kept it there until someone shamed them into taking it down. I was so pissed off by the hypocrisy of it all.
