Pretty narcissistic to make medical proclamations from your couch.. but in todays world, if he’s right, he will be hailed as some grand expert while if wrong, his doom and gloom couch diagnosis will mean nothing to his credibility


Talking sports related head injuries is kind of his whole thing…

Sounds like your typical social media attention whoring drama queen. Bet he begged all his patients to get vaccinated too.


You right-wing science deniers' aversion to data is almost as hilarious as the libtard housewives driving the new polio epidemic.

He has a PhD in neuroscience, and was a major contributor in the NFL concussion lawsuit in 2010.

Do you seriously not know who he is?


Yes and he’s done great work in the CTE realm and brought great publicity to the protection of players but he’s not a doctor nor is he privy to what the Dolphins medical team has done during and over the last week in regards to last Sunday’s injury..

Right, so he's got a vested interest in drumming this up. You guys are defending someone who just said he's pushing for murder charges against an entire team/league for a guy who will be out of the hospital in a couple of hours.

This guy literally called his shot before the game. Either hell of a coincidence, or he is legit.

NFL players for 70 years used to go into games after massive head trauma, then play again and again and again.

Not making light of the situation, but this dude is acting like Tua is dead, and hes not.

Special Operations guys also have TVI after TBI after TBI and don't die immediately.

Now, later in life is another story... But

Stupid has nothing to do with it. The word he's looking for is greed. Amazon paid big $$$ for Thursday night games.

The NFL doesn't give a shite about the players, or voting, or the military, or black lives matter, or anthems, or breast cancer, or any of that bullshite.

Money is the only consideration. All that PR stuff is just about money too.



While all true, Tua played the biggest part in this decision. I reject the idea that the NFL bears the blame alone.

Isn’t he basically a billboard attorney. He has a sociology degree from Harvard (liberal arts bullshite) and his phd is in “behavioral” neuroscience from Boston college. This guy is not some genius medical savant. He’s a hack. That being said, anyone responsible for letting tua on the field tonight should be fired.

ou don't need a medical degree or a PHD, it was captain obvious Tua had a concussion last week.


Captain obvious doesn’t have a medical degree or the expertises to diagnose a concussion

I’m doubtful the dolphins would be this obtuse if they had any doubts this week.. way to much to lose over one game

Good question. Tua looked like he hit his head hard last week. Curious if it's possible he passed a legitimate neuro test or if doctors lied?

Right. Families of deceased players with CTE donate the player's brain so he can study them. I would think he knows what's what.
