| I believe that it was 'fish who vehemently stated that players know this risks of football. Nah they don't, proof?

| If they don't, it's the or own fault. Quoting a guy that last played 20 years ago proves nothing. More info out there now. They do know, they should know, and if they don't know, shame on them. | |

| It's not like a lot of football players take academics seriously. Also, please remember that not much information (comparative to the grand scheme of things) is known, even now...
Using Bo's quote means a lot. A guy who excelled, won a fricken Heisman, played professional baseball too says if he knew more he wouldn't have played.
AGAIN, I am not saying banish the game. I've never said that. Adjustments must be made though. _________________ 'eggo denoted me a First ballot Hall of Famer! - sandyeggo_blue wrote:

| That's not what I'm talking about. Obviously you don't understand. It is however a step in the right direction. _________________ 'eggo denoted me a First ballot Hall of Famer! - sandyeggo_blue wrote:

| I see BO making commercials that are about football.
Still taking money from the game he talks down about.
Hypocrite?
And I understand totally. I think you're wrong. Especially in today's day and age. If they don't know about it they are stupid or apathetic.

| He's not necessarily talking down about it, just saying that it is dangerous. More dangerous than it should be. I'm still saying that "you may know" what can happen but you don't really know until it happens to you or a loved one. It isn't just the therapy, it isn't just being out in public, it's 24 hours a day, 365 days per year (366 during leap years). There is no respite from it. It isn't just a physical injury, it's mostly mental which is the scariest part. You have no control, you do not think like you used to. You are a totally different person. That's what you don't understand. This wasn't the best movie and of course a movie cannot possibly educate anyone on the effects of neurological damage but did you see "Concussion"? Will Smith was actually pretty good in that movie despite all of the movies shortcoming.
Making money does not make him a hypocrite. _________________ 'eggo denoted me a First ballot Hall of Famer! - sandyeggo_blue wrote:
