It seems that the public does not invent anything new today; they just recreate the old and put it into new terms. The new little Ceasars are the owners of the NFL teams. The players are gladiators and the college football players take their cue from gladiators in the arena.

The American public feeds on it by purchasing the paraphernalia and worshipping the wrong things in society. The little Caesars know how to reap the profit from it. So wake up, America.

These new helmets will not solve any problems of greed, which is the first goal of the owner Caesars. Leaders of universities and colleges should pay attention to what their first purpose is and not fall into the pattern of the little Caesars.

For the old argument that professional football creates opportunities for people who wouldn’t otherwise have them, what kind of livelihood is it that by the time these players are 35 they have irreparable damage to their bodies and minds? What were they taught in universities, just to be a gladiator? I don’t know of a gladiator in history who stood up and made mankind better. (Spartacus was fiction.)

And the little sub-Caesars are the coaches and their pay, from the pros to the college level. Good sports games are fun to watch and cheer for, but we need to make it look like it doesn’t belong in the Coliseum.
