This year I asked all my self-proclaimed leftist NFL fan friends what they think of the head injuries deal. Not one gave me a good answer.

@gatorgoat If a factory was causing permanent brain damage to its workers, I'd demand its closure. That's not utopian. It's common sense.
@caulkthewagon @gatorgoat And if the workers were making massive amounts of $, were picked from a huge willing pyramid of aspiring people?

@sarahjeong I kind of don't get your point. Every worker is "willing" because we have to survive.@gatorgoat -
@caulkthewagon@gatorgoat Agree, but the meaning of work is different when it’s “doing what you love” / following your dream. -
@sarahjeong why can't people follow their dream and do what they love without having their brains turn to mush?@gatorgoat -
@caulkthewagon@gatorgoat Yep. But you’re talking about ending pro football, I thought? -
@sarahjeong no, I'm talking about pausing it in order to force a solution to the problem of brain injuries.@gatorgoat -
@caulkthewagon@gatorgoat tbh I actually give no fucks about banning football, I just think the factory analogy is not totally apt -
@sarahjeong okay, let's say all actors were being hit in the head by falling lights.@gatorgoat -
@caulkthewagon@gatorgoat not disagreeing with you, pausing football or penalizing the NFL for unsafe conditions seems morally advisable - 1 réponse de plus

@sarahjeong I'd take a brain injury if it meant my loved ones were set for life. That doesn't make it right, or a fair choice.@gatorgoat -
@caulkthewagon Agree there too.
