From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
Thom: What most people don't know is that football IS getting safer. According to the National Federation of High Schools, there was a 40% drop in concussions in middle school and high school football players in 2015. The teaching of tackling has changed, and the punishments for targeting is changing the game for the better. As for safer games, soccer and rugby have much higher incidence of concussions than does football. Changing the rules is the way to go, not banning it. If one doesn't want to play a rough sport, then don't play it. Don't take away options for our young people.
