re: Documentary: "League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis"

have you ever had a concussion before? They suck.

I got one playing high school ball when I was 17 and felt worthless for about a week. I was barfing like I had a stomach bug for a few days. Imagine having an intense steady headache to go along with it.

sucks.

the coaches let me participate when I got back to school/practice. Sorry for sharing my insignificant story with you.

but it would be hard to imagine playing in the NFL were the game is so fast and guys are trying to knock you out instead of just making a formed tackle.

they don't hit as much in practice anymore as part of the new collective bargaining agreement. So the tackling won't be as sharp as it could be on games days. The NFL is a fast break league now designed to help offenses score more and defense isn't as important.

After watching this, you probably wouldn't want to give your hard earn money to the NFL.

meh, I've found as I've gotten older sports aren't as important to me. I don't need some sob story about some guy from the late 80's or so to change my mind about how I don't like football as much anymore.

adjustments have been made to the game and people are gonna bitch about it. That alone can get annoying enough if you try and hang around and talk about football all the time.

The NFL is trying to make it where they have something going every month now to try and stay in the news as much as possible. They aren't going anywhere for the time being. They are making a ton of money.
