Will the State Protect Us From Football?
Posted by Dave Blount at September 8, 2008 7:48 AM
What's next for the Nanny State, after it has rescued us from cigarettes, trans fats, and soda pop? A reader's son found a sticker on his football helmet that offers an ominous clue:
Once it's acknowledged that football causes paralysis and death, it's only a matter of time before bureaucrats step in to save us from it. First will come the looting stage, during which John Edwards types will launch lawsuits against school districts that permit this reckless activity, and local governments will levy taxes on football to help finance "free" healthcare. One day our pale, pudgy descendants will ooh and ahh over the barbarity of sports that once were permitted even though they could lead to injuries.
On a tip from Lyle.
