It's been yet another Worst Week Ever in the NFL. Jane Coaston joins Ryan Nanni and Jon Bois on this episode of Punt Brothers to speak on why this league is how it is, and whether it was this way all along (it was).
This episode of Punt Brothers is going to be rather different. It's a serious episode, with next to nothing in the way of fun and games, because the NFL has been a miserable thing lately and we don't want to ignore it.
Joining us is Jane Coaston, a contributor on SB Nation and Every Day Should Be Saturday. Earlier Friday, she published a piece titled, "Football has never been good." It doesn't flinch:
It's never been a paragon of virtue. It's never been a font of whatever it is you want your kids to be. It just hasn't.
The difference is that now we know. We know exactly what we're getting into with this thing called "football."
You can follow Jane on Twitter at @cjane87. Today we talk to her about the NFL, whether we can ever hope for it to be an ethically sound institution, whether change is happening, and how we feel about the League as lifelong fans.
