i feel the same way sometimes. That's why I lol at the league trying to legislate a sport that's violent to its core. But on the other hand, who am I to knock dudes who choose to make a living doing this. The sport just replaced boxing as far as helping guys escape poverty. Very conflicting

I don't see football being outlawed, hopefully the game will be able to find a way to reduce these brain injuries with better tech gear (if that is even possible)

Sadly, you could play this documentary in front of NFL, College, and HS players and it will not change what they do.They'll just have the immediate reward in mind and not worry about their future down the road

Just like dude tweeted

@DavidEpstein: while we're thinking bout NFL players; h.s. players more vulnerable brains, worse equipment, weaker necks, less med care #frontlinepbs

I find it funny how the league mandates thigh/knee pads, but have not mandated the newer helmets that are designed to try and help head trauma

I could easily see HS and some college teams having 7-on-7 squads. They already have camps all over and I've seen the shyt televised on ESPN

I dont know if its possible, its the size and speed of the players that causes such a violent collision that accumulates not much u can do to prevent that
