If not for football, they would likely be in prison or dead. And I’m talking about the fans. Players? Who knows.

Soccer. There is a movement, let by the libs for soccer. Most of my friends think I am paranoid whenever I bring this up, but, to the libs, soccer is international, it is egalitarian, it is so vastly superior to American Football. American football, (or more correctly, “football”), is warlike, violent and imperialistic. Rush, as usual is right about this one. There is a war against ‘football’ in this country, and it is a leftist driven one. And I am not being tongue in cheek.

Color me very skeptical about this.

I'm not convinced there is something going on here.

If this were the problem they say it is, 96% of league players would be having serious problems. Are they?

While some testing can show signs of CTE in the living, so far researchers can only positively identify it during a postmortem.

It really bothers the Left that contact sports exist.

We should all wear helmets and padding when we go for a walk. /s

I played a little football and found this to be an interesting article, but I can’t remember now what it was about.

" both those that played in the NFL and other non-professional levels… some going back to high school."

This research, whether perfect or tenuous, will put Friday Night High School Football at risk.

Just like the Libs went into complete panic mode when American society began lauding firefighters, police and soldiers after 9-11, they have chosen to target athletes now. They want to eradicate masculinity, and American strength in every form. It’s beyond obvious, and needs to be countered bigtime, along with all the other completely obvious liberal gambits.

The numbers may not be absolutely correct (pretty small sample size after all) but the ultimate conclusion I’m sure is right - getting your bell rung and repeatedly ain’t good for the old squash. It’s got nothing to do with communism, soccer, religion, or anything else. It’s just got to do with that piece of gray tissue floating around in a liquid cocoon surrounded by a hard shell. It’s does better if it’s not knocked around violently.

and salt is bad for you. I never believe anything that the Government puts out these days as it is contradicted a few years later (or sooner). You really do have to put on a foil hat to believe anything coming from Government surveys these days. As for the MSM and the faithful, they will continue to expel their truth.

How many boys haven't had a concussion? From high school football, falling off bikes, falling off tree swings, etc? I know I have. Of course, not to the extreme extent that NFL players have, but still would be interesting to see some statistics on this.

NEW STUDY: BRAIN TRAUMA DISEASE FOUND IN 96% OF NFL PLAYERS EXAMINED

That pales in comparison with the brain trauma disease found in 100% of political "progressives..."

Skimmed the story and didn’t see any reference to a control/comparison group.

Maybe I missed it but, absent matched controls, this doesn’t mean a whole lot.

A new new study is showing astonishing results that are sure to make the NFL uncomfortable once again over concussions. In the study, Frontline reports 87 of 91 former players have tested positive for brain disease.
