re: John Moffitt quits the Broncos, cites Noam Chomsky, the Dalai Lama

John Moffitt called the Denver Broncos last week from his Seattle home to say he wouldn’t be returning from a scheduled week off for the team because he’d lost his love for football and was no longer willing to risk his health

Moffit said. “I’m not happy, and I think it’s really madness to risk your body, risk your well-being and risk your happiness, for money.”

I've said it on this board before on got called crazy, but with all of the new studies their doing on player safety and head injuries in football, we are going to start seeing a lot more guys retiring in similar ways. Not in the middle of the season after reading a philosopher, but to save their health and bodies. Eventually it's going to be a good player too and it's going to be a huge story.
