This is a topic that's been on my mind as my grandsons get interested and involved with sports.
So I just Googled "George Will What's Wrong Football" and here are a few of his words of wisdom on the topic:
"For all players who play five or more years, life expectancy is less than 60; for linemen it is much less." Aug 3, 2012
"Today's risk-averse middle-class parents put crash helmets on their tykes riding tricycles, football participation will skew to the uninformed and economically desperate." Sept 1, 2017
