They’ll ban the kick-offs and punts soon enough...
For those that think banning football is the solution: Just how many people do you think would’ve heard of Junior Seau without football, what do you think he would’ve done instead, and do you have proof he wouldn’t have killed himself if he had been a bricklayer?
And there are thousands of retired players who had concussions who are leading normal, happy lives. And there are thousands of people who never had concussions who commit suicide.
Coming soon. The New NFL. National FLAG Football League. Complete with shorts and T-shirts with names and numbers on them.
Was watching espn this morning, and everyone has espoused one theory or another for Seau’s death. No one knows why he took his own life; please stop with the baseless conjecture. We may never know why he did it; it’s just a sad, tragic ending to a human life.
That head-hunter coach should be banned for life instead of just suspended.
If there is ever a concerted effort to ban American football, soccer should immediately connected with it, since it requires players to hit the ball with their HEAD. There are obvious symptoms of trauma from these repeated blows to the head, such as the belief that soccer is superior to football and the overwhelming tendency to vote Democrat.

Some people do like the contact however and thrive in the game. That's all well and good for them. If they make it to the professional level, they get lots of money and they earn every penny of it. Even if they don't make it to the pros, you can usually get a college scholarship out of it and they deserve that as well - especially considering the amount of $$$ those college football games bring to the schools.
That all said, there is a downside in that many players come out of the game with broken bodies and/or brain damage due to all the concussions. That is the risk you take to get a shot at the big bucks.
I'm not sure how you make the game safer for players without making it virtually unwatchable for everybody else. It would be like trying to make NASCAR safer by making the speed limit 45 mph and encasing the cars in bubble wrap. Who would want to watch that?
So how do they explain suicides of people who never played football or had no head injuries?
That proves he was brain damaged
I have two theories: 1) He was murdered. 2)He was efeminate and hated that about himself. Both theories are plausible, knowing statisticaly 90% of the time a female suicide death occurs when a gun is fired through the heart. A man 90% of the time shoots himself in the head. Just an observation. The only other theory would be that he wanted to see himself conciously die, which is more creepy than any of us should like to entertain. He had a history of troubles with family. Fame can do some strange things to people, and his ending was horrific. I’d still be questioning that girlfriend intensely to see if there are any holes in her story-—sounds very fishy.
If they make it to the pro's, target making the retirement mark and then hang up the cleats.
