Warren Sapp TipGate Follow Up: Sapp Wasn't Wrong, He's Just A Crappy Civil Rights Leader [OPINION]
In this follow up to the Warren Sapp "TipGate" story earlier this month, I'd like to point out that A) all journalists exhibit some degree of bias, whether intentional or not, and B) there is no such thing as a simple narrative. While I came to realize that my take on the situation was skewing my judgment, I still feel like my opinions had validity, and I feel like they had a place. I just put them in the wrong place. So, in the case of Warren Sapp stiffing his waitress on the tip based on racial justice and semantics, I'd say he's not wrong to be mad, he's just a crappy civil rights leader. California Law Bans Full Contact Football Practices In Summer To Prevent Head Injuries, Concussions
California Governor Jerry Brown just signed a law this week banning the use of full contact in middle school and high school practice sessions during the off season. The limits placed on summer practices as well as practices during the season is aimed at minimizing head injuries and concussions. Some coaches, however, believe that taking such drastic measures to prevent the head injuries could lead to an increase in other injuries, such as spinal. They think that if the kids don't learn to hit each other properly in a controlled environment then the likelihood that they will hurt themselves and each other during games is significantly higher.
