Much of what the NFL does is fraudulent.  While star NFL player Aaron Hernandez committed murder and later reportedly hung himself in prison when serving a life sentence for it, his team the New England Patriots gave outspokenly [[Christian]] [[Tim Tebow]] a phony tryout, apparently to deflect from the scandal.  The public is further misled in how NFL players are promoted as superstar athletes, but many are actually in poor aerobic shape from a medical perspective and have reduced life expectancies.  Often the better athlete—such as a quarterback with a stronger arm—is benched in favor of a weaker athlete who can "read" defenses and throw sissy short passes, as [[Tom Brady]] does.
