Bob Costas your out of a JOB. Anti-Gunners your out of ammo.

The deaths from football related injuries is close to that of guns. We must either make football illeagal, or control it in such a way that only flag football is played.

From 1931 to 2006, the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research reported 1,006 direct and 683 indirect fatalities for the sport of American football.
So in 75 years at 1700 deaths equals about 23 deaths a year due to football.
it also found that between 1977 and 1998, "200 football players received a permanent cervical cord injury, and 66 sustained a permanent cerebral injury".[12]
An estimated 40,000 concussions are suffered every year among high school players.
…..with an estimated 1.8 million yearly participants in organized football = 23 deaths


….estimated 55 million gun owners in America
“Prevalence of homicide and violent crime is greatest in urban areas of the United States. In metropolitan areas, the homicide rate in 2005 was 6.1 per 100,000 compared with 3.5 in non-metropolitan counties.[“

3.5 per 100000 = 35 per million
Versus
23 deaths per 1.8

WE MUST GET RID OF FOOTBALL.
