Inner Revolutionary Radio

Whether you love, hate or are neutral about football, listen to this show. The game affects us all. Parents, fans, advertisers, owners, tax payers, kids, every one of us is touched by football – a multi-billion dollar industry based on ego, greed, disregard for the welfare of players and our society’s taste for violence. Recent studies of the brains of dead NFL, college and high school players show 96% of NFL players and 79% of all players exhibit CTE, a progressive degenerative disease of the brain. And not just from concussions, but from sub-concussions that happen frequently in practice and play. Steve Almond is a man standing up to the NFL and to us. Author of Against Football: One Fan’s Reluctant Manifesto, Steve is a 40-year fan who is telling the story and turning off football because of the culture of violence, racism, greed and misogyny that football feeds and lives off. Steve gives us the facts. But we have the power to act. Tackle Football. Turn It Off! And pass the word.
