According to a 2006 report in the St. Petersburg Times, for every season a player spends on an NFL roster, his life expectancy decreases by almost three years. If a player only lasted 4 years that would put him dying at around 55. for those who’s careers are longer, it’s even more grimm.

We get our players from specific communities, or even races. They are the modern gladiator – slaves destroying their bodies for the entertainment of the masses. Yes they make a lot of money, but they are the exception. Think about the children who live in ghettos, projects, inner city neighborhoods – who are they given as role models? Athletes. They are taught that the only way out of a hopeless life is to destroy yourself. That is slavery.
