He needs to think long term health and make a tough decision.
Even Nick Saban, his old coach at Alabama, told him to seriously think about retirement................
Tell that to Damar Hamlin.
Sterling Sharpe had to make that kind of tough decision knowing he was walking away from a sure path to Canton. He can help Tua if anyone can.
For athletes like him and others at that level, it's no longer about the money. But rather for the love of the game.
They're big, they're strong, and they think they're invincible and can recover from any injury due to the advances in surgeries and physical therapy.
In most cases, their thoughts are true; they can recover.
However, concussions are brain injuries and there is still no conclusive determinations on what the long term effects will be on such an injury taking place today or what the result will be if he suffers another concussion.
So the decision is Tua's. Does he allow his lifetime passion of football take precedence over the potential health risks of his continuing to play? Or does he have the common sense of realizing his health, his family and future are more important than football?
