Washington Post football interest, hard hits, and fans - Aug. 22-26, 2012
Pro football survives off-season criticism as nation's favorite spectator sport
In this poll:
A new Washington Post poll suggests that football remains by far the country's most popular sport and that the game's inherent violence is as much of an appeal as it is a liability.

No opinion
Q: Did you or someone in your family play football when they were growing up, or not? (IF YES: Was that you or a family member?)
