Mark Schlereth gets pissed at NFL hypocrisy

Sports are violent especially MMA. It is new and foreign to many observers and often it breeds snarky condemnation. But as WKR has pointed out sports are violent and Americans love their violent sports.

America's number one sport is football a sport masked by the goals of touchdowns andfantasy leagues, but at its heart it is pure violence. Just ask Mark Schlereth. In response to Troy Polamalu of the Steelers calling out the NFL and its hypocrisy, Schlereth responds with resounding agreement. It is nice to see members of the media finally call bullshit where there is some. The NFL has long ridden on a wave of hyperbole that covers the harsh reality of violence, injury and negligent care. Thanks for finally realizing, just hope you remember next time you decide on bashing MMA.
