I say make the players sign a medical waiver if they insist on playing, put the ball in their field.
Don't they already do something like that when they sign there contract?

No definitely there is that, and shadiness, going on all over the NFL. I guess I figure it would be more of a shit show than it is now, with head office trying to determine who is doing it purposely, or accidentally. Then it would be even more of a mess to determine equal standard punishment. It's already mess. I'm not sure there is an adequate solution that will appease everybody.You mean as policy stands today, there are no cases of players trying to hurt other players?
What I want to know is this.
Aaron Hernandez was in the NFL for only 3 seasons. And he was only 23-24 years old when he stopped playing.
And yet after he died, he had one of the worst cases of CTE anyone had ever seen.
So how can you have such a severe case of CTE after just 3 seasons?
I will not be surprised if it is discovered that there is another major component to CTE and it has nothing to do with concussions.
.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that at the time of his death. Hernandez had been playing tackle football for well over half those 23-24 years. I started playing at 10 years old and pee wee is what? 8 years old
It is not an assumption. He was playing football as early as 6 years old.
His brain had more CTE damage than anyone had ever seen.
So it begs the question, is the worst CTE damage happening in high school, college?
Maybe even sooner?
I do know this,
All of the fingers pointing at the NFL as the sole cause of CTE have avoided any speculation that concussions
received in Pee Wee, High School & college are just as much responsible if not more for CTE brain damage.
