Deadspin...
In it's continuing effort to kill players on the field through repeated blows to the head and to mollify a populace who wants to see this happen, the National Football League, it has been ruled by Congressional investigators, attempted to influence a National Institutes of Health study that, when the NIH would not kowtow to Emperor Goodell, Goodell promptly yanked $16 million of funding from the study.
The ruling sides with reports from ESPN's Outside the Lines... They stated this last December (the link is to their report of today's ruling).
And no one is going to do fucking shit about it.
Let's be blunt: Most fans hate the players as overpaid criminals who deserve to die. So they would have no problem watching players die weekly and on the field -- and there is no secret this is the NFL's eventual goal. The NFL has NEGATIVE interest (less than zero!) in protecting head injuries -- it would have to shut down the sport otherwise.
So you ain't gonna do shit, so don't even waste the time....
