John Havelock's selective liberalism is rather laughable and somewhat funny considering that he is listed as an "university scholar" at the bottom. He gave American football "few more years" but simple fact is, violence in sports, sells and Havelock's view of non violence in sport is only left of the Lord of the Rings. People boxed out their own choice. People played football out of choice. Everyone got a choice. There are many sports and activities that are literally life or death. Now Mr. Havelock want take that away due to chance of long term injuries?? Bit silly. If Mr. Havelock want to put safety bumpers all around, let him do so at his home. By the way, Mr. Havelock, driving a vehicle injured and killed more people each day then boxing and football combined for an entire year. Banning driving will save so much lives......but yet you are too hypocritical to advocate that, eh?
