Ravens star, 26, who is also pursuing a PhD in math at MIT, RETIRES abruptly after shock study shows 99% of NFL players' brains are affected by degenerative disease CTE
Within a decade, the NFL will consist of robots battling to the death... ok, maybe a century.
The NFL is kaput. Maybe, at last, they’ll dig up the end zones at Giant Stadium.
He’s a numbers guy.

This is going to dry up football at all levels.
“Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel has quit the NFL just days after the world’s biggest study into a degenerative brain disease showed that it affects 99 per cent of players.”
You can kiss football good bye. Let the lawsuits begin.
Rush was right.
Good for him.
I’ll predict that football is outlawed at high school and college level in at least one state within four years. Within a decade....at least six states will have it outlawed. It’s only going to be roughly twenty years left in the sport.
I question the sample in this study. The 111 brains donated for the study (out of thousands who have played) likely came from players whose families suspected brain damage.
Too late.

I predict war will break out when that happens. Not over football. Over things that we would normally war over if we did not obsess over football for much of the year.
I abandoned the NFL completely last year, along with many friends. NFL leftists sure picked a bad year to give millions of angry white men more free time with Trump as apresidential hopeful.
It would also be interesting to see what positions those 111 played. I’m thinking ing that the position played would have a big effect on the likelihood of concussions.
The man is smart. He is getting out while his brain is still intact.
Must run in the family. His dad is a surgeon and mom is an attorney.
Very few people in any profession take the long view of life. Its not just in the NFL that you get your head bashed repeatedly and lose irreplaceable brain cells. Every day millions of young people use drugs and intoxicants and in many ways are doing the same thing. Country is getting dumber by its own hand.
Thanks to the leftists. They don’t realize that soccer is just bad.
