LINK The evidence is mounting. Call it pussification if you want to, but the writing is on the wall.

I hate that it's happening but I also think it's right. That being said I'd rather live the live of someone who dies at 50 and a multi-millionaire, than the likely 70+ years I'll live and never break 150,000/year.

Hold the phone.

Most if not all of that research is the game of yesterday.

There are so many different rules and safety precautions of today that.. that is unfair and not accurate for today's players IMO.

Like Ditka says, get rid of the facemasks.

That'll change the game back to running, blocking, and tackling. Not highlight reel hits that put guys down.

When you are talking about brain damage it's kinda of hard to call it pussification.

Every generation dating back to the beginning of the game could have said the same thing.

Every game changes over time.
