This E.Coli bowl is delicious but it's just not hitting the spot like some roast beef would right about now

tbh, i don't think you realize how dumb some of these football players are
Just listening to Wes Welker and Jay Cutler already make me believe they aren't capable of doing such research
or even Phil Simms

Exactly! A majority of the players in the NFL have been playing since Pop Warner. It's a culture and no parent or coach was discussing the long term effects of playing the sport. Of course everyone knows football is a dangerous sport due to contact, but just how dangerous was hidden from the masses. You also have to take into account that the youth have a feeling of being invincible. It's not until we get much older that we start realizing our own mortality.Let's be real 20 years ago do you think All-American 18, 19, & 20 yr olds were being told in 20 years you may not be able to walk down a flight of stairs, remember your own kids name, or even worse case scenario commit suicide because of bad headache you will experience on a daily bases? To think they did, you guys are the true idiots.
Randle El is 36.....
Junior Seau was 43....
Jovan Belcher was 25....
Jamal Lewis is 36.....
All are player we know that either have uncomfortable lives or have taken their's by the age of 50... and that's just the tip of the mammoth iceburg
But wait..."They knew it...it's common sense"

Kids and parents see children and men hitting each other in the head and don't realize it could lead to a serious head injury?
How many current NFL players are now aware of CTE and all the risks it comes with have quit?
Growing up, everyone always talks about how dangerous football is, that **** isn't news. People ignore it because it's a sport. It's fun, it's entertaining. Kids want to play it because they love it, hoping to make millions or both.
Sure the NFL could have made the health risks more public and available to the players but why should they? I remember as a kid seeing a player on the Lions get ****** paralyzed on the field. Scared the **** out of me. I mean, football and health risks go hand in hand. I don't blame the NFL, it's a billion dollar business. Kids aren't forced to play, it's a decision they make.
People will continue to play football, box and MMA because it pays, it's fun and can get you fame and women.
Now if you want to ***** about the owners making billions and players getting cut every year, that's the real problem.

Because it's legit killing people. That's why.

Exactly. So why are players taking health advice from them solely as to the risk. Their doctors are on the payroll. What NFL medical person is gonna do what's best for you as opposed to the league that pays them.

So you're saying when kids and adults play football, they see players hit helmet to helmet (phrasing) and don't think it could be life threatening?
Antonio Brown almost had his head removed, millions of kids saw it and didn't think he could be dead? How many of them are not gonna play now? Antonio Brown himself will be in uniform next season. He knows he could die and knows about CTE.

You employer has a doctor or group of doctors they send you to if you get hurt on the job right? Is it not the same?

So if everyone can see it and it's common sense, then why couldn't the NFL just acknowledge it?

Even if that's the case, why can't a individual person find someone that's non affiliated. How hard is that? You act as if these guys are banned from any doctor other then the ones their jobs provide. Lazy, dumb what's the issue stoping these people from doing this?

Everyone posting here does realize CTE wasn't described in football players until 2005, right? And wasn't recognized by the NFL until 2010 (and denied in years leading up to that)?
I mean, when my parents worried about me getting hurt playing football, they were thinking about broken bones and torn ligaments, not about the increased risk of a chronic neurodegenerative disease years down the road from repeated head trauma.
Seem to have some judgmental Republican types who want to blame athletes for I guess not opening their own pathology labs when they were children so they could've decided for themselves by age 17 whether they should pursue a career in football or focus on something else.

Theres levels of risks to everything in life.
Theres the assumed risk and the real risk.
Like most of us know meat is bad for you, especially something like McDonalds/ Wendys/Burger King, Sonic, \\
You figure if you eat McDonald's Burgers you may gain some weight, if you eat too many them they may become obese. You assume that level of risk for eating the burgers.
Lets say McDonalds knew their burgers were a high level carcinogen and knew it caused diseases in people and hid that information?
You'd be pretty pissed at them for withholding that information even though you knew there was some risk in eating their burgers but you didn't know the level.

A large percentage of people on here and players thought Brown was faking? I only heard one player and a very few on here say he was faking. Either way, Antonio Brown will ply next year and he knows all that he's risking.

"Players dying is a legit threat."
"Meh. They knew what they were getting into. I saw a kid get paralyzed."
"Owners made billions off of these injured NFLers!"
"OUTRAGE! BILLIONS?! UNACCEPTABLE!"
And that REALLY IS common knowledge.
