Napoleon Goodell defends stadium subsidies. Of course he does. He works for the people who profit from that stolen money. He's also forced through  a new rule that promote the fiction that the NFL had nothing to do with concussions. It blames running backs by making it illegal for them to lower their heads to run over a defender. It had nothing to do with the NFL's battering rams on heads. There's nothing to see in the helmet arena. Move along. If you make a helmet for defense, you make it soft, like a pillow. If you make it for offense, you make it hard like a battering ram. The NFL chose the latter. I guess players should count themselves lucky the NFL didn't put spikes on the helmet.
