Stiff Arm Obama

Due to an increasing amount of concussion injuries, most notably in the National Football League, the game itself as we know it is in increasing jeopardy. In fact, ball hawking Baltimore Raven safety Bernard Pollard recently queried the NFL won't exist in 30 years.

Man, Woman & Child, he may be right!

Recently, several high profile incidents, including the suicides of players and the violent outburst resulting in a murder suicide by a Kansas City Chief earlier this fall, have brought the violence of the game into question by liberals, elites who seek to govern your life and activities and lawyers seeking to profit over the misfortune of others. The lawsuits are coming.

There is little doubt the game of football, particularly at the professional level, is played very fast and the collisions can be very violent. In the years past, protective gear wore by the players was far from adequate to match the activity on the field. However, I don't recall anyone ever being forced to play, and I know many, including myself, who wish their talent level allowed them the opportunity to excel in college ball, much less the NFL

Although it did take some nudging, the NFL has made a commitment to research to help make the game we all cherish safer for everyone involved. In fact, Dean Sicking, architect of NASCAR's extremely successful safer barrier retaining walls, is now turning his attention to designing and elevating football helmet safety. Please hurry, for the greatest game is under attack.

The NFL officials are now penalizing players for hits to head, and in particular, tacklers leading with the headgear to the head, as are collegiate officials. As we have noted, the penalties have been inconsistent and have damaged the game, and a prime example came in the Big Ten Championship game between Nebraska and Wisconsin where 'Husker Kenny Bell laid intellectual wood.

Amidst the economic destruction and retraction of liberty and freedom under the failed policies under his leadership, the Commander in Arrogance has now found time to not only weigh in on the safety of the sport but to target non unionized college football, where the Color & Pageantry is a fabric of the nation.

President Obama the antithesis of Heisman quality.
 

Our President, who has been proudly presiding over an America in decline and stoking the fire of class warfare, should focus his time in creating jobs for the millions out of work and returning our nation to prosperity. Obama should not be operating from the thought that his input is needed or required on every subject that comes into the lexicon.

Although Obama claims to the contrary, he is not what would be considered a big time fan of any sport, as evidenced by struggling to name current players of his "beloved" Chicago White Sox when pressed.

While Obama did play on a basketball team as a youth, add sports governance to the list of areas where Obama thinks his thought process supersedes ours. The football field is the last place we need metro sexual elites in effort to implement their progressive policies of fairness and controlled outcomes.

Sports, and we can include cheerleading, provide opportunity for individuals, through competitiveness and sportsmanship, to form life long relationships, achieve goals and learn life lessons.

With all due respect Mr. President, keep your dreams of a socialist utopia at great length from the Color & Pageantry of College Football, and while we are at it, the roar of the engines of NASCAR as well. We don't need your policies and ideas to severely handicap yet another pair of billion dollar businesses.

Your input is not welcome, and should you try, we will attempt to stiff arm your recommendations, which as of this writing, is still legally permissable
