  • Neither am I. Those are grown adults getting paid adult wages & who are given adult options to measure their risk vs reward.

    The second link doesn’t prove anything as long as football is still a billion dollar industry in this world. Study as many deceased brains as you like, doesn’t change the fact the living ones still like making millions of dollars smashing into one another.

    I’m just not willing to call for the dissolution of the NFL or NCAA Football programs because of the possibility.

    Football isn’t the enemy here. We put those folks on their pedestals & now everyone wants to blame them for being there.







  • Once again, this is not society’s responsibility, it’s on the parents.

    Don’t want your child to become a roided up rage monster with CTE? Don’t raise them up to believe that sports is their only way forward.

    Sports are a path for SOME individuals & those individuals have the CHOICE to decide what is right for them & what isn’t.

    Yes family pressure exists, but so does individual choice & the two conflict every day. Hell, I’ve got boobs & a vag despite my parents protestations & I’m better off for it.

    For many of those individuals they only see sports as their path forward. Want them to find a better path? Show it to them…

    But don’t judge them when they strike out down a path you don’t approve of, if you aren’t willing to provide a better solution.

    Sitting here saying football shouldn’t exist because people get hurt is just lazy hand wringing & judgemental nonsense.
