The NFL is "like a loveless marriage now"

Cornell Law Prof William Jacobson:

We are headed towards a society which resembles, in many ways, Eastern Europe under communism. Where every aspect of your life was political. And you could not express a view that was contrary to the prevailing political view, and you were monitored.
