Professional football has suffered a tough year of scandals. There is a lawsuit that will award medical damages to those players that have contracted dementia, Alzheimer's or depression resulting form head injuries. There were the numerous aggressive acts against family members. Now we are on the eve of the Superbowl and the media is going crazy over deflate gate.
Let's face it. After all the horror stories, this scandal is pretty tame. We can laugh, make numerous tongue in cheek testicle jokes and give the NFL lots of media attention. No one is talking about Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson now. I think this scandal has come at the perfect moment to get everyone excited about the Superbowl and take our minds off the true scandals that really have hurt people. Go ahead and make your wrinkled ball jokes folks, but don't forget about domestic violence, head injuries and homophobia.
