Since I stopped drinking again 30 days ago, I have worked out for 29 days straight. I had my best running times of this year in the last couple of runs.

What?!?!?!?

Heresy… how can watching football be unethical?

I love watching football and played my senior year of high school (mostly warming the bench). Watching Seattle’s Superbowl victories was thrilling and a great bonding experience with friends.

However, the research shows extremely clearly that football damages the brains of basically all players. The NY Times published an article showing that of 111 NFL brains studied, 110 brains had CTE – a degenerative disease linked to repeated blows to the head.… read more “Watching Football is Unethical”
