Obama, an admitted fan of the sport, went on to defend the league, saying that players accept the risks when they sign up.
“At this point, there’s a little bit of caveat emptor,” the president said. “These guys, they know what they’re doing. They know what they’re buying into. It is no longer a secret. It’s sort of the feeling I have about smokers, you know?”
