13344914, Parents are smarter and not as desperate

Unless college athletes get paid, I just don't see why a kid would want to play.

Most parents now see through the sports addiction hype and refuse to put their children's bodies up for sale for a few years of local town glory.

The head injuries, dashed hopes and broken promises from the sports industry is another bubble waiting to burst. So many people at the top make so much yet so many black and brown athletes' families remain poor. Something is twisted adn I am so happy people are leaving football.
