lots of measures in place. It’s up to players to look after each other. These guys get paid stupid money for the fame and the risk.

yeah but NFL will ultimately be the ones that will have to take the responsibility and if they refuse liability should players start to sue. Junior Seau should have been made to retire years before he did.
The salaries although comically high doesnt justify the risk of getting CTE. There isnt a court that would buy that argument.
Dont think we've heard the last about regulations for CTE

Players are big boys. They decide to take the risks. They aren’t being lied to anymore.

Nfl isn’t liable. Players can sue if they like.

disagree- If u work at say a lumbermill cutting wood and cut off your hand you'll sue. You knew the risks and are a big boy but your lawyer will say the company didnt have the proper precautions in place to prevent the accident.

same here-player knew the risks but if the NFL had stricter rules in place some lawyer will say the player wouldnt have contracted CTE. Then u have the argument that the player was already past the ability to know he was in trouble (like a Junior Seau) but the NFL continued to let him play.
I just dont think we have heard the last about CTE
( I'm taking off for while in case u respond)

thats not even close to the same. It’s a violent sport.

Seau is a different time. He should sue. Nfl lied previously.

even though I have no doubt all these guys would have continued to play even if they knew. But honestly you would have to be an idiot not to know getting concussions wasn’t bad.

That’s too bad. I wonder if he had early CTE?
