Where do we begin? The common denominator is they enjoyed the physical contact. The players assumed the risks associated with the sport. Helmets are a piece of protective gear and were never represented as being capable of preventing injuries. Professional athletes should have their own personal physicians to advise them of the dangers of repetitive concussions. These guys wanted the glory, thrill, and big salaries. Well guess what? The chickens have come home to roost. They rolled the dice and played the game. Does anyone think they would have retired after their first concussion even in the face of the risks? Of course not. This is another golden goose for the personal injury attorneys to chase.
This is ridiculous. Here is the newsflash …. running into each other and leading with your head will cause you to be a vegetable later in life. Got it? I know this is a surprise.
I honestly feel for those who look back @ their youth and say, “maybe that was a bad choice” but this is a money grab for people who did not do a good job with saving and investing their typically above average paychecks. This will kill a great game that is played by consenting adults who might need some more education in physics.
