It will likely happen before every football game this weekend.
Fox News will then publish a pearl-clutching compilation of people booing at college football games, and Trump will use that to justify defunding those institutions further.
Makes me glad I stopped watching football years ago when it became clear that we were systematically destroying our childrens' brains for a chance to destroy their brains further on TV as adults. All in the name of entertainment.
No thanks.
Youth sports are tricky. Girls Soccer has nearly the same amount of concussions. (10.2 vs 8.4 per 1000)
Other sports can be just as dangerous (lacrosse, wrestling, hockey, rugby, etc.)
i have a suggestion, and that's that everyone going to one of these events, cue up Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, have multiple copies downloaded on your phone ready to go at whatever public event you're at ready for that jackass' moment of silence, and blare it out your phone. count down one two three then whoever's ready plays at full volume. drown the motherfucker out.
The federal government funds the NFL?
Stadiums
College football Tomorrow
Edit: nevermind,
There are hundreds of College Football games that take place on Saturdays, although I think the moment of silence and pearl clutching will also occur at the NFL games on Sundays.
I don't understand. What does that have to do with whether or not the federal government funds the NFL?
*Edit: I'm half asleep and didn't realize you were talking about him defunding colleges. My bad.
