Sports

The NFL used influence to take Junior Seau's brain from independent researchers and give it to the government.
"...the NFL played a powerful role in determining what happened to Junior Seau's brain -- who studied it and where. In the hours, days and weeks after Seau shot himself in the chest with a .357 Magnum revolver -- the shocking end to the life of one of the most admired players in history -- the league muscled aside independent researchers, ignored a previous commitment to Boston University and directed Seau's brain to the National Institutes of Health -- four months before the NFL donated $30 million to that institution for concussion and other research. "
This fits with my contention that everything Napoleon Goodell is doing including the new rules and ridiculous punishments is about protecting the NFL from concussion lawsuits. The NFL didn't want info about Seau's brain damage to reach the public and influence the jury pool, so they sent his brain to the most corrupt organization in the world then paid that organization to protect the NFL.
"The NFL also recently announced a $60 million research partnership with General Electric and Under Armour, and is working with the U.S. Army on concussion initiatives. "
All big-time statist organizations. NIH corruption. More.
