James is joined by Daniel Sailofsky who is a Lecturer at Middlesex University in London. His academic background includes law, sports management and sociology.

James and Daniel talk about the NFL and it’s teams in terms of the priorities they have, in public they are against woman being assaulted yet will Pay a quarterback a ton of money while having a number of allegations pending.

What some sports are doing now to avoid similar CTE issues that former NFL players face now such as no tackle football before a certain age and no heading a ball in soccer until you over 14.
