Thank god, now America's kids can safely go back to playing football

The bozo actually said somewhere along the way that a player who suffered a concussion in a game recovered faster if they were put right back on the field rather than being sat down on the bench.

What a putz.

And I don't believe he was even a specialist in the concussion field, just some hack sawbones....

And people wonder why the NFL gets hammered with these lawsuits.

Play with fire, get burned.

For years, the N.F.L. relied on, and endorsed the medical expertise of, a rheumatologist with no formal training in neurology or brain science who denied a link between head trauma and certain brain diseases even as scientific evidence of a strong connection mounted.

Team Doctor for the New York Jets?

Is "controversial" code for "corrupt, incompetent, uneducated liar"? Because, if so, someone let me know. It is much easier to just type "controversial".

Are you talking about Goodell? or the NFL head office as a whole?????

In this particular case, I was only talking about the "doctor", but you clearly see how shorthand for that term would come in handy.
