There's a long article in yesterday's weekly Wa****ngton Post Magazine
about retired American football players and their serious health
problems:  Bad backs, bad hips, bad knees, dementia from repeated
concussions, chronic pain, side effects from the medications for the
above, etc.  And about how neither the NFL nor their union will pay
their skyrocketing medical or nursing costs.

An activity which causes such damage doesn't sound very soft to me.
