Um, not really. Corporations hold huge amounts of power. They now earn more, in comparison to the workers than they have for many decades , since the gilded age of the 20's and we all know what happened at the end of the 1920's.

Maybe the real qualification should be knowing the data on chronic traumatic encephalopathy? If you know the data, I don't think you want your kid playing, macho or not.
