“Football is Killing Itself”

“The Texans QB visibly quivered and twitched
on the ground as an official stood over him…”

[Sing it.]

Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I’m playing cuz a man keeps playing
Through the CTE
Playing cuz the people love the hits

Targeted by massive tacklers
I can’t feel my legs
End my days with the IQ of a stone

Everybody’s talking at me
Can’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind

    Is it appropriate to say “LOL”

    Probably not. But I’ll say it anyway.

  2. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Bill R: Sure, why not. I think my line “IQ of a stone” is pretty funny.

  3. Bill R Says:

    That was my favorite too.
