it was brought up on MTP this am. Its been known for some time about the life-threatening/expensive, life-long debilitating injuries that players receive and can't afford to pay to manage it after they retire.
They mentioned $712 MILLION? Not NEARLY enough to cover the long-term medical care many of these people will need.
When football started, it was a sport that had regular/average guys running around. Today you got people taking supplements and practically living in a gym so they can be bulked-up. Getting speared, for instance, today w/ a helmet is a lot different than it was in the early 20th century when they wore leather gear.
Before any of you people make any ad hominems directed at me- I used to pass people like you through my stool back in my day so don't even go there
add to this all the couch potato, morans who "watch" it and the ginormous public expenses associated w/ it- see Bush II's sweetheart stadium deal in Tejas & the thread on security (whats it going to cost?) at the current "game".
The owners need to pick up the tab for this, NOT Joe/Jane Q. Citizen
That, or we ban the game altogether. YES, I went there
