My father played football in the 1940s and in college in the 1950s
He played when they played without helmets. No face masks
He had vertebral fractures, had his teeth knocked out as did the guys he played with
We had football on for 30 years of college and NFL
No one ever dropped dead on the field
This is going to happen repeatedly in the next few years and we’re going to have to hear people say ‘it’s this or it’s that”
It is stroke. Period.
such a stupid post im not gonna even responde...
Around 1900 many players died. They had little protection and few rules had been developed. Some schools stopped playing football. The Ivies recruited young kids from the factories and farms. Many died.
