Football, teddy bears, San Juan Hill, fathered 6 children, Police Commisioner, African animal hunter, survived assassination and gave a speech afterwards, married twice - all this squeezed into 60 years. Throw in Mount Rushmore for good measure.

Teddy was all for men being rough and tough. This was the culture back then. No one could foresee back then what problems the sport would have for the future. Let us not forget how he enacted laws to protect what we eat as well. In my opinion one of the greatest presidents who ever lived

YTaob, Sportsman he was, he would go on Safaris in Africa. Known as Rough and Ready. It sounds logical to me, I guessed at it. So he saved football. This game is great. I agree you do learn something.

It still exacts a lifelong toll in brain injuries. We have room for improvement of both rules and armor. We have the technology to finesse the tackle via sensors in the gear, calling on our athletes to use their brains as well as to preserve them for the second half of their lives. This would keep their families intact and strengthen our entire nation.

Player #21098355, changes were made even then, as it says to make it less rugby. People run bulls in Spain?

Teddy Roosevelt was also an explorer of the Amazon river basin in South America… I recommend the book “River of Doubt”, it’s a great read and recounts yet another chapter in this great man’s life.

Too bad. Thousands of head injuries never revealed, dementia, lifelong pain, so we can bet and gawk at the sacrificial athletes.

Theodore Roosevelt was not the 'good guy' American History would have us believe. Read: 'The Imperial Cruise' by James Bradley.

Player #13168220, Just to give you an idea about how rediculous your post was.. In '17 with over 4m of our youth playing football there were 4 deaths related to on field incidents. 'Dumb' is wishing another an early grave.
