That's crazy the NFL is so wealthy its almost criminal. Back in Ireland our national sport is Gaelic and when a player is seriously injured and will be affected for life all 26 county clubs donate 100 thousand each and sometimes more if he will need specialist care for life.and that's without asking or requesting a discussion. These players have our respect and gratitude for giving everything for our national sport and culture. It's sad you're players are not taken care of in the same way. but on the other hand NFL players get paid a fortune whereas Gaelic players do it for free. NOW THAT'S PASSION AND PATRIOTISM

Well I ask this of a workforce where the minimum salary is $480k a year, maybe you should put a little of that money away for a rainy day, make sure you have some level of job security (I.e. you're good enough to stay in the NFL), I get that buying your momma a house is a nice gesture but make sure that doesn't bite you in the ass later.

Wrestling seems fake 🤔

A common mistake (propagated by many movies and video games) is that if the outer armor (e.g. the skull) doesn't crack then everything inside will survive. That's the equivalent of saying if I put a hamster in a metal box, throw it against a concrete wall, but the box doesn't crack then the hamster must be fine. A football helmet and a skull may not crack, but the g-force of the brain hitting against the inside of the skull can still kill you! And that's just a direct hit. It doesn't even address the much more dangerous forces associated with a sudden twist of the head that no helmet can protect you from!

Wrestlers had the same problem as well in terms of care after retirement.

Brain damage from a traumatic brain injury or TBI, can if not destroy your life plans, it can surely derail those future plans for a decade or longer. As a TBI survivor I speak from experience. Now people who follow boxing , are already aware of the consequences of multiple concussions, and the changes that occur because of said concussions. The NBA needs to study the lives of retired boxers to discover the consequences of multiple concussions and head injuries. Although in the near future this may not happen because the millions of dollars made in football, and the bribes offered to hide the consequences.

Jim, I'm totally with you on the toilet idea... it is an idea whose time has come.

i designed a custom made; helmet with a disposable, crunch zone layer and sent the design description and drawing to Honda in response to a design contest and they never responded, but farmed out the idea to some guy in Northern Ca. Screw them, but it hasn't been adopted, and properly made, it would reduce collision brain damage mightily.

Well, it is usually the cowards who are the most gung ho for violence.

The players get brain damage, while the NFL owners laugh all the way to the bank...

Some kicker was probably examined and he was 111😂

I knew I'd seen this but before! & it's not the first time a comedy central channel has done this

My big issue isn't the penalties for "hitting too hard" but it's that it's always the defenders fault, how many times have you seen a guy catch a ball and then immediately start to turtle up and fall down meanwhile the guy who's going to tackle him, the guy who was going to get him right around the waist ends up hitting him square in the head. Or as instituted last year falling on the QB too hard (Aaron Rodger rule) which has absolutely NOTHING to do with head injury, as a guy like Clay Matthews what he thinks about "falling to hard" on someone.

American football players getting CTE as often as Skyrim guards getting arrows to their knees is quite troubling. I thought that they, boxers and those playing real football tended to get ALS later in their lives. Could be misdiagnosis, I guess.
