“In the NCAA basketball tournament, Louisville sophomore Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome injury: His leg bone literally tore through his skin,” the group writes.
“While the NCAA makes $780 million per year off student athletes, they do not guarantee that medical bills for injuries will be covered. Can you sign our petition to the NCAA?”
The liberal group wants folks to sign its petition.
