Description: From concussion doctors pushing "science" that benefits their hidden business interests to lawyers clamoring for billion-dollar settlements in scam litigation, football has become so big that everybody wants a cut. And those chasing the dollars show themselves more than willing to trash a great sport in hot pursuit of a buck. But Flynn believes football is actually safer than skateboarding, bicycling, or skiing. He rescues reality from the hype-- and in doing so may just ensure that football remains America's game.
