For many Americans Super Bowl Sunday is an all-consuming spectacle, where money and mania coincide. Anxious fans overeat more than at any time except Thanksgiving and last week tickets start at $3100, with fans also vying for over-priced airfares. But that’s nothing compared to the price paid by football players themselves. Recent studies show 96% of NFL and 79% of college and high school players tested showed CTE, a serious brain disease. Former Super Bowl greats are bursting the bubble too. Tony Dorsett can’t remember where to pick up his kids and 36-year-old Antwone Randall El regrets ever playing. Are there healthy alternatives to football, starting with our kids? You bet. On this show, you’ll learn about Super Supportive Sundays, a family program emphasizing Fitness, Cooperation, Service and Thought. Kids love it! And you’ll hear excerpts from our 10/8 interview of Steve Almond, author of Against Football, a searing indictment of the game Steve loves. Tune in for a game changer!
