Defenders on the Defensive: "This Ain't No Cupcake League"

The NFL says its goal is to protect players (except when it's making
money from photos of them hurting one another), but there are plenty of
players who don't want the protection. Following news that the NFL will
crack down on players who make dangerous hits with fines and
suspensions, Washington Redskin Phillip Daniels lambasted the league for
what he considers an over-reaction to a series of hard hits Sunday. He
started the conversation with a barrage of tweets: "There has been a
warning sticker on the back of every helmet since pee wee league. When u
put that helmet on you know you will hit or be hit. We still choose to
play." In a radio interview later, Daniels expanded on his views: "When
I hear guys getting fined that much money for a game in which we're
taught to be physical and hit people, I think it's ridiculous," he said.
"When this game started, from way back, your dream is to go out there
and hit somebody and bring some excitement to the game. You're talking
about taking that away. Guys are gonna get hurt. This is football. This
ain't no cupcake league. You're gonna go out and play football, you're
gonna get hit. Offensive players know they're gonna get hit, and
defensive players go out to hit. Nothing's changed."

Hey, in the off-season, football players can volunteer as crash-test
dummies, and actually do something that benefits society.

Jeees, Krause, can't you find an appropriate outlet for these crappy
joke reposts of yours? They're not even good jokes.

How about:

Totally appropriate. No apology necessary.

Football is all about the hits.
If America wanted a game that was safe enough for teenaged girls to
play we would embrace soccer.

I am still waiting for roller ball. It can't be far off.

One of my favorite movies.

Soccer is making big inroads. Our kids have been involved since they
were 6. It's an awesome sport once you understand.

Football is fun to watch but not as accessible for kids to play as
soccer, baseball, basketball. I loved playing flag football but wish
I'd have learned to play soccer instead.
