And it’s become apparent that while players were aware of the possibility of mangled knees, broken bones and concussions, they didn’t grasp that repeated blows to the head could produce debilitating and irreversible mental harms


I guess none of them ever heard of Casius Clay.

“Yeah Football will soon be gone.”

For starters, the part I want to see gone is the looting of all the taxpayers through municipal bond issues to pay for stadiums for these millionaire freaks to play in! If this is such a good “business,” why do the owners come hat in hand to the government to pay for their venues? San Francisco is probably still paying for Candlestick Park while the “voters” of Santa Clara have just gone into hock for a new stadium for the 49er’s. Nothing the teams get from the taxpayers is ever paid off before “it’s inadequate” or there’s a better deal to be had in another city. You don’t see NASCAR asking some city to build them a racetrack, and I’ll bet you that the fan base in motorsports is as big, if not bigger than “professional” football!
