I don't believe a word. Non story.

Doesn't matter if it is real or fake.

If it's real, so what. Put a disclaimer so every player knows, and they will still choose the millions of dollars to play football.

Just like boxers will take millions of dollars to take blows to.the head. Just like hockey players will get checked on the ice and get into fist fights. Just like rugby players will smash heads without helmets. Etc.

When logic and science aren't on your side, you always lose.

I suggest you both watch League of Denial - an incredible documentary that will show you what the NFL has done to cover this up in order to make their billions, chew the players up and spit them out, affecting not only their lives but the lives of their family and friends (formerly kind, easygoing men becoming raging abusers (or murderers) due to this brain injury). It's not a coincidence that so many football players are in the news for suddenly killing themselves, loved ones, or random strangers...

You can watch it for free here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/league-of-denial/

EXACTLY, it's like a Boxer saying, 'you mean getting punched in the head is bad for me? Ummm, duh, why didn't anyone tell me? '

Thats pretty ignorant. I wasn't sure either, until I actually googled Mike Websters hall of fame speech on youtube. and then even more telling was some interview he did, its about 1 minute long, and he couldn't even explain 1 thing, his brain jumped around to about 4 different topics in 1 minute, he couldn't even answer 1 question to the interviewer and said he felt "tired" and then in the same clip another former player is asked to repeat a set of numbers...like a 6 year old can do...and he couldn't do it...then months of the year...January, February...June...He skipped 4 months and could not even tell you the months of the year. Hes staring like he has no idea what is happening in his brain and can't even repeat back the months of the year to the doctor. Watch the @^@^$ video. Learn something.

I think you missed the point about the movie or the doctor's intentions. His aim was not to ban American football, but merely to INFORM the players and the public of the risks involved.

The NFL was denying any link between American football and brain trauma, which was obviously untrue. Players and family members were not aware.

Now at least if they still decide to keep playing, they are making an INFORMED decision. That's all the doctor wanted.
