This study is going to going to add fuel to the fire that kids who play football in high school & in college must be compensated by the schools that make money off of them and put their health at risk for no economic gain. Either that or football as we know it will undergo some drastic changes over the next few years.

Somewhat related--I wonder if there are any plans to examine Belcher to see if he may have had some brain trauma that caused him to do what he did Saturday?

Been saying this for a looong time. This will slowly affect what sport the super athletes take over.
