You can defend the NFL all you want, but the facts show that they left the players in the dark on purpose on these studies[/quote]And they need to be held accounta...From 2003 to 2009, for example, the NFL’s now disbanded Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee concluded in a series of scientific papers that “no NFL player” had experienced chronic brain damage from repeat concussions, and that “Professional football players do not sustain frequent repetitive blows to the brain on a regular basis.”
In the case of Omalu, league doctors publicly assailed his research, and in a rare move, demanded a retraction of his study. When Omalu spoke to FRONTLINE about the incident for the 2013 documentary, League of Denial: The NFL’s Concussion Crisis, he said, “You can’t go against the NFL. They’ll squash you.”
Nah, dog, you trying to spin this a certain type of way.
What about the personal accountability of millionaire liars misrepresenting their product?
You want personal accountability for select persons.
People taking advantage of others through drugs or manipulation need personal accountability, too, ESPECIALLY if they gain a profit from that advantage.
Accountability.
Absolutely.
I completely agree.I mean, school aren't recruiting athletes based on academic excellence..
The NCAA is also a corrupt turd organization but thats another story.
The HS i went to is one of those elite sports/ academic shools. They will force feed incoming freshman/ parents/ the masses all types of ******** on how they don't give sports scholarships r special treatment to athletes and it's academics over everything. I know more than a few who were 4/5 star recruits in football soccer lacrosse even swimming that fall into that category.that's awful...Quote on 183 college athletes - "60% read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels.

100% agree
^ I have to agree. While growing up in the 80s and 90s, all that was talked about was that you might get paralyzed or you could die while playing. The long term effects were mostly about not being able to walk because of pain... not too much was brain related.

They weren't multimillionaires when they decided to play football, they were poor-*** kids.I agree that the NFL was wrong for their role in suppressing info. Yet and still they aren't and don't have influence over world health organizations. These are multimillionaires who have access to some of the best doctors in the world. Claiming ignorance isn't a excuse.
This SF Bay sportswriter named Ray Ratto was on OTL talking about the Chip Kelly hiring, and he looks like a Andy Reid-Stan Van Gundy DBZ fusion

Some people just like to defend power and authority at all costs, it makes the world makes sense and have order.
