Superbowl Guilt
Is it immoral to watch the Superbowl?
Medical research has confirmed that football can cause catastrophic brain injury — not as a rare and unintended consequence, but as a routine byproduct of how the game is played.

You may not have made the concussive tackle that left a player injured or pulled the trigger that tragically killed Patrick Tillman; but these are the negative externalities of the NFL and War. If you watched the game or support the war without thinking about the consequences, some would suggest you are guilty by association.
