Will Leitch: Why Football Will Never Die
Posted Feb 1, 2015
The results of a new survey conducted for Bloomberg Politics suggests that, due to its epidemic of concussions, football is in trouble. Well, that’s not quite right: The poll doesn’t claim that football is in trouble; large numbers the people questioned in the poll claim it is. That might sound like an obvious and rather pedantic differentiation, but it isn’t. Because I believe the poll—but I don’t believe the people who took it.
