Item description from seller

From concussion doctors pushing “science? that benefits their hidden business interests to lawyers clamoring for billion-dollar settlements in scam litigation, America?s game has become so big that everybody wants a cut. And those chasing the dollars show themselves more than willing to trash a great sport in hot pursuit of a buck.Everything they say about football is wrong. Football players don?t commit suicide at elevated levels, die younger than their peers, or suffer disproportionately from heart disease. In fact, professional players live longer, healthier lives than American men in general.More than that, football is America?s most popular sport. It brings us together. It is, and has been, a rite of passage for millions of American boys.But fear over concussions and other injuries could put football on ice. School districts are already considering doing away with football as too dangerous. Parents who used to see football as character-building now worry that it may be mind-destroying. Even the president has jumped on the pile by fretting that he might prevent a son from playing if he had one.But as author Daniel J. Flynn reports, football is actually safer than skateboarding, bicycling, or skiing. And in a nation facing an obesity crisis, a little extra running, jumping, and tackling could do us all good. Detailing incontrovertible fact after incontrovertible fact, The War on Football: Saving America?s Game rescues reality from the hype—and in doing so may just ensure that football remains America?s game.
