1) Head traumas = Threatened Lawsuits
2) Threatened Lawsuits = Demise of Football
3) Demise of Football = Rise of Soccer
4) Rise of one-world-sport of soccer = rise of one world government
5) Rise of one world government = end of freedom

If we can't save football, we at least need to dump soccer as fast as we can to break the chain of one-world domination and enslavement.

Only touch football is ‘safe’.

Professional football is a violent sport; a hitting sport. Anyone who’s played the game knows how high emotions can run during a game.

Strong emotions from some of the most competitive men in sports with big bucks on the line will never result in safety during play.

Sure, minimize the potential damage to the players, but ya gotta let ‘em play.

The war against American tradition and manhood rages on.

Both died last year after suffering from dementia.

How do they know it wasn't a consequence of Onanism?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I’ve discovered several HUNDRED cases of brain damage and dementia right here in Washington, D.C. in Congress, the White House, and some of the JCS.

Just listen to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Clyburn, G. Johnson, and Debbie Wasserman Schulz. Then run for the nearest bone cutter.

Frontal lobotamies for all of them, care of Obamacare. Now, that’s a plan I could support.

The NFL is getting more like pro wrestling and NBA.I am losing interest.

[Vendome]

Looks like we’ll be watching flag football from now on....

[Smokin' Joe]

Anyone who has watched a television player interview would not question whether or not there is brain damage in the pro ranks...

[OKRA2012]

The plaintiffs in the lawsuits against the NFL will likely win their cases or the NFL will have to settle with the former players.

If and when the case is settled in the former player’s favor, the NFL will be forced to change aspects of the game that pertain to helmet to helmet contact or take even more drastic action.

[Ken H]

This is shaping up to be quite a show. These lawsuits are game-changers, so to speak. I believe this will be the end of the NFL as we know it.

[dbeall]

Has anyone asked the question of whether or not these cases are occurring in pro football players at the same rate as they are occurring in the general population? Furthermore, has anyone asked the case as to whether or not these cases could be linked to the kind of people who gravitate toward football in the first place? Just a thought.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Apparently, playing football doesn’t prevent brain damage.

My son, when playing varsity football in highschool got a concussion bad enough to put him in the hospital...for the first 24 hours he was in and out of consciousness, he still does not remember that day at all and that was about 35 years ago. It took 3 days for his memory to come back to almost normal except for that day. He would wake up in the ER and ask where he was. We'd tell him and why he was there (he had the football and the other team took him out, it seems like they all piled on. He then said good we got the ball and phase out of consciousness again. This went on for hours before they admitted him when he got violent. Typical of head injury's....He was not to scrimmage for 6 weeks and was ticked off. I called his coach to inform him cause I knew my son wouldn't. He loved football, and was varsity it the 10th grade...Both of his son's did great in highschool football also, thank God they received no perm. injury...Son's IQ is still above average and spent 9 years in the air force in charge of “fixing broken planes” as he called it...Langley in the middle of the runways where they taxi the fighters that needed “fixing” Thats all he would say about his job...
