Our reckoning with violence will cause the NFL to go the way of the circus. By 2050, the National Football League (NFL) will be like the Barnum and Bailey Circus of today. Bankrupt, closed, irrelevant, morally passe. In the early 20th century, the circus was all the rage. After a century of the product’s consumption by a culture increasingly sensitive to the abuse of the weak and helpless—in this case, circus animals—the “Greatest Show on Earth” has been relegated to an empty sideshow. It is simply too brutish for sophisticated moderns who wince at the crack of a whip on an elephant’s rump. Football will soon follow. Its massive billion dollar stadiums and ...

Cubs Walk-Off And Sweep Blue Jays On One Of The Wildest Endings Of The Year By Aldo Soto - Aug 20, 2017 What a wild ending at Wrigley Field, as the Chicago Cubs came back to score three runs in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5, completing the three-game sweep.
