ESPN's Danny Kanell: Concussion Alarmists, Liberal Media Loving "The war on football"

The war on football is real. Not sure source but concussion alarmists are loving it. Liberal media loves it. Doesn't matter. It's real.

ESPN college football analyst Danny Kanell offered his opinion on the state of football and it appears he believes it’s under attack from left-leaning safety freaks. It’s unclear why he thinks concussions are a Republican-Democrat issue, but if we’ve learned anything, it’s that injecting partisan politics into a situation always leads to more nuanced debate.

His comment is a response to an op-ed in yesterday’s New York Times suggesting no kids under the age of 18 should play football.

Thank u Brad. That's exactly what I was referring https://t.co/3P1lrCycCM
