As a business you should probably be examining, hey, is this the type of message we want to send?

I was playing video games LONG before I ever thought about playing football. If it wasn't for my parents making sure that I got outside every now and then as a child, I probably would've pursued some sort of tech path.

Football is an absolutely idiotic pastime by any rational standards. You're running into other people as hard as you can, you get frequent muscle strains and ligament tears, and the protective padding really doesn't do all that much to absorb the blunt trauma.

Never be afraid to do what's right. If no one ever says anything, nothing ever changes.

People, please remember that I choose my words very carefully. Assumptions are your enemy.

If you're not willing to speak out for the rights of other people, then who do you expect to speak out for you when it's your turn?

One of the main coaching points I've heard throughout my entire life is, 'How you respond to difficult situations defines your character,' and I think it's a good saying. I also think it applies to more than just the players.
