The Cardinals are getting ready to face the Cowboys in the NFL’s first preseason game, but I couldn’t be less excited for it. But that’s got nothing to do with the sport and everything to do with the league that administers it.
Commissioner Roger Goodell has downplayed a damaging CTE study. Franchises have held fans hostage for money. And I believe team owners are suppressing free speech by keeping Colin Kaepernick off the field.
As I write this I feel conflicted. I love football and have been devoted to the sport from the first time my old man tossed a Nerf ball my way.
