Ep 1227 | Why the NFL Buried the Pro Bowl and Turned Football into a Slot Machine

from Fearless with Jason Whitlock · host Blaze Podcast Network

The NFL killed the Pro Bowl the same week it stacked more health and safety fouls. Fear of a lawsuit. Fear of CTE. Fear of being called racist or sexist if we miss a quota. The men running football are afraid of football, so blocking and tackling leave, and gambling fills the hole. Watching our national pastime is sitting at a slot machine hoping your props cash. America used to love foolish risk: Evel Knievel, Fonzie, Sean Taylor hitting Brian Moorman. Moorman framed the jersey. Do not be afraid. We are afraid. ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - NFL's Fear of Football 02:11 - Gambling Replaces Sports Thrill 05:24 - The Pro Bowl's Demise 10:33 - UFC and Risk Taking 12:12 - All-Star Games Decline 24:23  - Druski Skit and CTE Debate 40:17 - RG3s Deshaun Watson Take 51:17 - The Young Hos Controversy ➢ Follow Our GUESTS https://www.youtube.com/@DreAllDay https://twitter.com/SteveKim323 ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media:  https://x.com/JasonWhitlock  https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email [email protected] ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.
