What difference does it make when the NFL knew taking hits in the head can give you brain damage.

All of these guy have watched Cassious Clay fights.

They were all overpaid to accept the rick, and I would argue that if you went back and studie their High School and College exams they were Dane Bramaged long before their careers started.

They are just looking for another pay day.

Next the players with Arthritis will blame their shoulder and back, and knee problems on the game, and start looking for their pay check.

You took the checks, don’t cry now.

Put on body armor and run at each other, head first, at 100% of your ubermensch speed, with hundreds of pounds of body mass centered on vulnerable joints, ligaments, and cranial components, and the expected result is what? Take off the armor, realize that your impact on another player will affect you equally, or at least significantly, and the game does change.

No longer will you be taught to spear your opponent, any blocking of uninvolved players is penalized, and you stay on the field for offense and defense, thereby eliminating the low stamina fat men. Injuries occur, but are not as frequent nor as often crippling.

Welcome to the progenitor of America football - rugby.
