02:33 PM ET 01.28 | President Barack Obama touched briefly on the prospect of head injuries amongst college football players, saying that although he loves the sport, he thinks changes will eventually need to be made in order to protect the players involved.
Obama was asked about violence in college sports as part of a long interview by The New Republic. The President said that he's more concerned with the well-being of college players than NFL players, who he feels are wealthier and have more power with regards to changing rules to make their sport safer. Obama said he'd "like to see the NCAA think about" making changes to protect its players.

If Obama had an imaginary son, he'd look like Lennay Kekua.

Obama is wasting his time. IMO, he is on the right track to improving safety in college football, but it won't get through the congress!!! LOL.

Dirty players who head hunt and get flagged should be ejected from the game,, strike two and they should serve a two game suspension,, strike three and they should be forbidden to partake in the sport for life.

Blah blah blah we all are paying the "increase" in payroll taxes which is not an increase it's an expiration of the tax Holliday of 2012 when your taxes were cut. Sorry you don't want to pay for SS/Medicare. If you are one of the people who had their taxes increase because you are making over 450k p/yr (or 250k in certain circumstances) then I will light a candle to recognize your sacrifice.
