Spare us the over stated rhetoric comrade. not everyone that plays football gets a head injury, let alone is doomed to a shortened lifespan with demetia. There are obviously some guys that have had serious issues, just as there have been some that are paralyzed. It doesn't happen to most. Unless there is some smoking gun that the NFL knew about the possibility and hid it, I don't see how people were "explotied". The research on brain injuries of this type is not 60 years old, its relatively new. One of the ironies is, they started making stronger, lighter helmets to protect against neck injuries, but alas, lawyers never wnat to hear about unintended consequences.

Must be great to make an argument against a point that I never made. Way to misrepresent. It's a clever tactic but the folks on this board are intelligent enough to see right through it.
