Some trust most CEOs and industry to do the right thing; some feel most CEOs are more concerned with profit than the public good.
That's a cultural divide, no question ...
But the "cultural attack" on football most likely has more to do with the changing nature of the society and its favorite sports than any specific target. The history of spectator sports in America is filled with rise and fall -- there was a time that horse racing and boxing were two of the top sports in the country. There was a time, not that long ago, that the NBA finals were on tape delay. There was a time that baseball really was the national pastime.
The wheel turns, and things change. Video sports may wind up in the Olympics, and young athletes are choosing lacrosse in larger and larger numbers. It may be that football is on a cyclical downward trend, or it may be that the present controversies are just a blip and the NFL, NCAA and high school football will continue to rule the roost. No question football is a great TV game, which is a major plus, but it will be interesting to see how its popularity fares in the next decade or so.
CEO's concerned with profits? Huh, who knew?
... priceless!
your opinion on the cultural attack (why the quotes? lol) is lame. There is a big difference between a sport becoming less popular and a systematic attack to eliminate a sport based on ignorance.
That would be obvious ... if you didnt have an agenda.
