But few football fans can match the support offered to the game by the mayor of Toronto: "Ford is also a big football fan, enough of one that he invited his high-school football coach David Price to join his team at City Hall, inventing an estimated $130,000 per year position in his office (“director of operations and logistics”) that he would not describe to the media — Price later repaid Ford by making a series of supportive calls to Ford’s radio show claiming to be different people. Though he was dismissed as head coach of Etobicoke’s Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School’s football team following the initial rush of crack accusations in May, Ford had by that time already hired a former drug enforcer with a history of violent crimes to coach the team." http://www.salon.com/2013/11/07/butt_groping_bachelorette_parties_and_rape_threats_rob_fords_non_crack_scandals/ > Best Wishes, > - A > On Nov 7, 2013 9:05 AM, "Jim Farmelant" <farmela...@juno.com> wrote: > >> ====================================================================== >> Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. >> ====================================================================== >> >> >> >> The NFL, I think, could easily weather any lawsuits concerning either >> hazing or brain damage from concussion, but what could lead to major >> changes in American football might be lawsuits directed against high >> schools over brain damage suffered by players.
