Opening Minds and Speaking Truth

from Welcome to the Machine · host Glen Hines

The machine cannot run without fuel.  And fans and "sports writers" provide that fuel. The irony is, neither group really knows much at all about football or the long-term costs to the people who play it and their families. But they act like they do, especially the never-have-played sports writers who provide erroneous narratives. It becomes incumbent, then, to dismantle these inaccurate narratives and set them straight with some hard-learned truths.
