re: My biggest issue with this fricking ordeal...

This is all brought on by this lawsuit former players. In a class action suit they filed against the NFL for head damages they (the former players)new since high school they were subject to, plain and simple. The big money the NFL generates will get to the court system and deny what these former players are wanting. And the NFL will say. Plead there innocence, we are doing what we can to stop all of this violence/harm, with suspending, ending careers, to make this point. Its why football players make a lottery winners paycheck every year. Its a lot of money, but, hey, you could get hurt or have lingering effects from this game after you retire. Boxing and this new form of fighting, kick boxing, rolling around like queers, whatever it is, will follow suit, just like the former football players. Hey, we didn't know continous punching in the head my damage my brain. Huh.
