But I think Vegan is saying that Bernstein is literally FOR concussions. Like the more the merrier, as long as its no one he knows.

I wonder if Lil Danny has made their their trained seal, errrr witty raconteur Martellus Bennett aware of his stance on that.

BRick, I think this is different than simply not wanting your kids or loved ones to partake in said dangerous activity. If you really care about humanity like Bernstein claims to do, then you shouldn't want anyone to contract CTE as a result of football. Bernstein goes beyond the simple just not wanting it for certain people by actively encouraging its perpetuation for his amusement.

That is one way to phrase it but I think it's more that he doesn't want the game ruined by rules designed to get rid of them completely. That game would pretty much suck.

He just realizes how bad it is for the participants and doesn't want people he knows playing it. You could swap out coal mining for football and most of us would probably feel the same way.

The thing that always gets me is how he has let his kid get involved in hockey. That will have to stop abruptly at some point.

He mentioned last week I think that when the time comes for check level hockey he will be okay because his kid eventually rather be a goalie.

Does getting hit in the face with pucks traveling 110 MPH cause CTE?

I'm sure this has been brought up several times before but is there really any difference between the Redskin and the Fighting Irishman other than the group it is representing? If that is true is that really an acceptable method to determine what is proper?

The whole idea of worker's compensation is based on the acknowledgement that pretty much every industrial job is inherently dangerous and that society is willing to trade the individual loss for the greater good as long as the individual is somewhat compensated for his loss. Read the law sometime. Individual body parts are attributed a dollar value. In a 2012 amendment to the legislation, Rick's genitals were appraised at $.50 after efforts from the strong Rick's Wife lobby.

The Irish are too drunk to care.

They are too busy fighting each other in the bar to fight the man.

His stance seems to be that he wants the NFL to stay the same, but he wants youth football to barely exist. Sounds like a good compromise to me!

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

The Irish are too drunk to care.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

If you had the Brooklyn J ews and a mascot with a black hat and big nose, that would be fine, right? The Black Men? A-rabs? It's meant to be an honor!!

That is my point. The fighting Irish IS the same as redskin. The goofy friar swinging the baseball bat IS the same as chief wahoo. The difference is who is the object of the caricature. It public derision really seems based on whether your group cares or not.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

But that's not exactly right either. There are no Illini around to care about the Chief.

I miss the Pekin Chinks!

Pekin has another claim to fame, however. Until 1981 it had a high school athletic team called the Chinks and a roller skating arena called the Chink Rink. The decision to change the team name to the Pekin Dragons is still remembered bitterly by certain residents, as shown by this apparently genuine email sent to a liberal website:

"I graduated from Pekin Community High School in 1960. I was also voted by the student body to be the mascot 'Chink'. It was a great honor and still is to me today. Another girl in my class was voted 'Chinklette.' We wore Chinese costumes and greeted cheerleaders from the opposing team in the middle of the basketball floor before each home game. It was a gesture of a welcome and good sportmanship. I'm still upset today that the school buckled under and changed the name to Dragons in 1981. It was the result of pointy headed pablum sucking liberals who run the polictical correctness gestopo in this country. I do detest them so much. I am attending my 45th high school class reunion this weekend in God's little acre called Pekin, IL and I will proudly wear my PEKIN CHINKS shirt. Liberal and their pathetic ilk can go to Hell!!
CHINKS FOREVER
1960 Chink, Bob Brown"

Never heard of this one.

You've never heard of this ? I though you were a proud native son of The Rest of Illinois?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.
