YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe National Football League's tumultuous 201415 season ended Sunday with the New England Patriots' dramatic Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The game capped a year that saw growing scrutiny of the NFL, most notably its poor handling of domestic violence cases. More than half of players accused of domestic violence during commissioner Roger Goodell's tenure have gone without league punishment. The NFL is also under fire for its handling of player safety, predominantly concussions. While fans still turn out in record numbers, four in 10 parents now say they would think twice about letting their own child play football. We are joined by Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation magazine and host of Edge of Sports Radio on SiriusXM. In addition to talking about these NFL controversies, Zirin discusses the Super Bowl's closing moments, when the Seahawks chose not to give the ball to againstthegrain star running back Marshawn Lynch and opted for a risky play that cost them the game.
