I hardly think helping 13-18 y.o. young men, some without a male figure in their life, learn sacrifice, teamwork, and discipline at the public high school level (in a deep red area of FL) is hardly caving into "Jew bread and circuses."

I hardly think helping 13-18 y.o. young men, some without a male figure in their life, learn sacrifice, teamwork, and discipline at the public high school level (in a deep red area of FL) is hardly caving into "Jew bread and circuses."
I can speak from personal experience how important lessons learned on the football field benefitted my young life, and certainly influenced me to be the man I am today.
if your story is true you got hit in the head to much. how can you not see the connection from amateur to pro football? every pro player started out as a kid. do you think they worked in wal mart then at 22 tried out and got on the dallas cowboys. it is the fathers job to instill values on his kids. stop trying to sub it out to an idiotic football coach
I played 3 years of pro ball before injury, and coached as a grad assistant in college for 3 years after my pro days were over (as I knew they would be.) I was a lucky one in that I understood the value of an edumacation, and knew sports was only a temporary stop..
Plus, when I played 90% of the pros didn't make crapola $$$. It's a different sports world today. My biggest contract was for $25,000 a year, and most guys needed an off-season job to survive (which is why training camp was so brutal, in The Day; we needed to get back into shape since we had no "off-season" programs like today.)
Hell, I could coach your kid and hopefully influence him to seek a better way to live than that of an angry, bitter, old man who hates "Jews."
So I respectfully say you have no idea what you are talking about.
Many if not most college players would never have any college education experience if not for athletics, and many if not most don't have fathers at home. Pro players are the unicorns, not the norms. Unfortunately, they get the spotlight, not the regular, normal kids.
I do not believe kids from bad environments should just be thrown away because some angry white guy thinks so.
I knew you would get into this. take this anyway you want but I say you are a liar. black nfl players are degenerates. you call me old?? pro players made no money in the 50's early 60's. if you played then you would be around 80-90. you are a liar and you have to lie to make your point
...the father's job to instill values on his kids --point taken, but there is a place for other men in a community to make it feel more solid to a kid.
so you subscribe to haggary clintons ...it takes a village lol. but I dont. my father hammered values to me and my brother and I would laugh at other guys trying to match what he did
Your a close minded, very bitter individual. Life isn’t 1 size fits all. It’s much more complicated. Just because you despise sports, and believe every trope about the dumb jock, doesn’t mean everyone should be exactly like you. It’s absurd to think that actually. Maybe sports wasn’t for you, and yes many pro atheletes are degenerates. Doesn’t mean every kid to ever play a sport is that way. I’d say 90% plus of amateur atheletes are fine young men. Probably the same percentage of pros. You look at the bottom rung and hold that up as the norm. It’s idiotic.
read the book pros and cons about the saturation of crips and bloods in the nfl. you people are dreamers living in a fantasy world and that is why the US got to the point where it cant be saved. see my pic. I worked out in boxing gyms for 20 years. I like sports but if you think 90% plus of black nfl players are good people you are insane . their crimes have been covered up since high school and I saw it in my town. hopefully your daughter comes home with a fine young negro ball player. I do not mind sports but you are to dense to see how it distracts people from what is going on. Rome used that 2000 years ago
I understand your point on the idol worship of athletes, and how the NFL has become a religion. I differentiate between amateur or youth and professional sports. 99% of kids that even make it to the college level will never sniff a professional field. The structure of sports for young people is a positive good, I will stand by that statement.
yes I see what you mean. I have seen years ago in the sub division I was in where the fathers would go to a nfl game and I would be choosing up sides with all the kids they left there playing softball and football with them. then they would knock on my door and I would do it again. I loved setting the kids up to play which the fathers should have been doing and watch how happy they were

Kids need more sports and less screen time.

Oh, my story is very true.

I would replace NFL with playing sports outside and movies with books.
