Maybe they can play Sarcastaball. Don't drink anything though.
Worse brain damage inflicted by libs like this - proof: Idiot Joe Biden!

Football has nothing to do with that possibility. Living in a libtard wussified state?
Definitely.
You knew this was coming...
More high school student commit suicide then any ex-football players.
Maybe we need to close the schools causing these so they children has a chance at a older life.
Am I the only one that thinks these problems will be solved if we just take off all the pads and go rugby rules for tackling?
Rush was right again.
It would completely change the game.
Better equipment, education and some rule changes (like they are already implementing) will solve the problem.
These people just don’t like football because they think it teaches violence and aggression.
Why that is just a very wonderful idea!!!!
Yep, my first thought was “....and so it begins.”
Sounds like Paul Butker needs to meed an angry Lamarr Woodley or James Harrisson, hehehe.
This guy is a complete nitwit....like most “doctors”.
I hate the rule changes in the NFL. Its ruined the game.
All because Goodell is a wuss girly-man and a fine-happy imbecile.
Go back to the 60’s and 70’s way of playing.
BTW, no one forces any kid to go out for football, OK? They assume any risk and don’t need any nannies or rule changes. It makes ‘em tough.
The rule changes are driven mostly by the NFL not wanting to be sued.
Football players are MUCH bigger, faster, and stronger than they were in the 70’s but their skulls have not evolved the way everything else has.
So does a public school education - can we ban those too?
