No, he likes to spend his billions on hookers and enjoys those Asian 'massage' parlors. Those parlors that only massage certain body parts.

I dont see that as a reason that he shouldn't be owner of the Pats though. A reason for his wife to chop his nuts off maybe...

Do you know what it means when someone says they're going to give you the 'Lorena Bobbitt' treatment? If not you should google what she is famous for doing.

Its all about Risk vs Reward, and the NFL is the only true Gladiator sport left on the planet.
Maybe there is still dirt diving in Yugoslavia, where you climb up a 30 foot ladder and dive head first in to the ground,, IDK, but I bet they got no insurance.
These players make millions, and I would imagine that they understand the risk vs reward scenario thoroughly before signing that contract.

That's the thing...

No one is forcing anyone into playing football, especially professionally. It's a huge risk, but players are compensated accordingly. They know what they're getting into. I imagine there's plenty of waiver forms they have to sign to protect the NFL should they get a debilitating injury and want to sue.

But if I'm not mistaken, back in the day when we did have Gladiators, those guys didn't have a choice. The Romans kinda forced their hand, and it's not like they were compensated. Just ask Maximus, lol.

Right. Even though it may not be as fun to watch. The nfl is doing the right thing. They have to to try and minimize head injuries. They just have to. It’s not even an option

They are not doing the right thing. They turn a blind eye to hgh. We all know these guys are using HGH. If you don't think they are you are blind. HGH really isn't bad but when a human gets to the point that an NFL player has gotten to it is unhealthy because they rely on atleticism instead of technique. These guys have gotten so big and so fast, while losing technique that the helmet has become far too dangerous to use. The helmet is now used a a tool in the NFL when it should be used only for protection. These guys have gotten so big and athletic that technique has disappeared from the NFL game completely. The techniques used in the NFL is very dangerous for head injuries and with these players using the helmet/head to run/ block and tackle it is destroying their brains. There has to be major changes to how the NFL plays the game or the players union will continue to have a case to sue the NFL. The NFL will then continue to make changes to soften the game to show they care for the players union.

Bring back proper technique to the NFL and it would fix everything but that would never happen. It would make the game more boring and less exciting for fans to watch. All fans want is offense. They want FF stats. So the NFL will continue to only care about making offense easier to meet what the current NFL fan wants. Fans don't care about player safety at all. If you did then you would stop watching this crap product until the NFL comes up with real fixes and not some crap to make it look like they care. Same the the Union. They don't care about the players safety either they will do things to make it appear like they do but all they care about is money.

All in all Money is destroying the sport. The NFL is a business they are doing exactly what they should. They aren't in the business to preserve the game of football. They are in business to make money. And NFL fans continue to buy into this garbage product so they will continue doing what they do.

The entirety of western society has gotten soft.

Stand up comedians can barely joke about anything anymore. Many of the greatest movies made in the 90s or before couldn't be made today. People are getting fired or kicked out of office for things they said or did 40 years ago. We've even attacked the use pronouns to the point that boys are competing in girls events.

Football has no chance of survival in that climate.

Rome fell. America is starting the same process.

NFL football is very soft. It has to be. The players union sueing the NFL is forcing the nfls hand. And yes the players union should be sueing the NFL. Football as I knew it no longer exists. It's all about FF and offensive numbers. That's what the fans want. That's what the NFL is giving them.

And yet it is former players suing the league that is spurring the changes. The NFL cares about money first and foremost, and all these rules are about mitigating future legal risk.

He’s right. Every year these guys have to adapt to new rules. It’s soft. They are soft when they want to be though. Rudolph should’ve been suspended indefinitely too.

By the way, Myles Garret indefinitely suspended.

Robert Kraft still owner of Patriots.

I think I know where you're going with this, but do you mind explaining the correlation?

The inconsistent enforcement of hits on the QB gives the impression of being either soft or over protective of the star QB's but ripping a QB's helmet off and hitting him with it isn't soft, it's stupid and Garrett is lucky he didn't connect solidly and be facing a criminal charges right now.

Pro football isn't hockey and doesn't want that reputation, a player just throwing a swing will get ejected. Controlling the aggression is part of it and Garrett wasn't taking his out on some OL that had been holding him all game or trying to cut him. He started that when he had Rudolph on the ground.

Quinn citing this case just proves he should have attended more classes, this is not the example to use for the NFL getting soft. Three games for kicking a player on the ground is soft. Girls and martial artists kick in fights, reach on down there Pouncey and get you some of that....tool.
