Damar was trying to even out his KD ratio.

Exactly. He’s not going anywhere. He SHOULD retire but people are so over reactionary. It’s not gonna happen

Would the Dolphins let him play again this season?

There was at least SOME hope that the whiplash skull cracks into the turf were the only reason he was suffering so many concussions.

We now know those are unavoidable AND he’s catching concussions with normal contact now.

He’s gotta retire.

He'll play again this year. Unless he decides to retire

It would be unconscionable to let him play again.

It’s not my decision so I’m not confident here.

But I think he retires.

A wise man once told me that you can have all the money you want, but if you don’t have your health you ain’t got shite.

I feel as if most humans have this innate instinctual reaction when falling to lift and protect one’s head. But then there’s Tua. His innate instinctual reaction is to slam his head backwards. All of his concussions are normal falls/hits up until his momentum brings his head crashing down.

He let the ball roll off his hand. He's not concussed. If he was out of it, the ball falls out his hand. It's all BS.

NFL will not let him play again this year. It could literally end the league if he returns and gets seriously injured

At what point do we let personal accountability be a deciding factor? Tua is a participating adult being paid millions, he isn’t being forced to take these hits. If a player takes shot after shot to the head and wants to keep playing, that shouldn’t fall onto the NFL.
