This could ruin the game forever

Don't blame the NFL, blame Tony Dorsett and all the players that are suing.

To be replaced by what? Baseball? Soccer?

Soccer.

The NFL turned a blind eye for a long time. The blame is theirs to own. There are likely a bunch of players who are just bandwagoning on the money train but the NFL earned itself the pending check.

I think at some point actual useful technology is going to carry some of the load.

This type of thing is helpful but it still doesn't stop the impact. So a guy stays out for a play and then what? Then he's "okay"? Or does he stay out for longer than that?

Wow..ok, I didn't read too many of the posts on this thread, no time right now....but can see it now....

Bill Belichek hired hackers to give concussion signals to the other teams best players helmet sensors.....goodell slaps the Patriots with a tampering charge...awarding them the SB by default, but takes away a 7th round draft choice in the 2036 draft.

Let's be real, most the guys making 400K are practice squad guys, most are making over at least 1M. And if you only stay in the league 4 years, well that's 4 Mill before taxes. The problem with most these guys is they try to live like the guys making 10M.

We all end up spending to what we make. Why buy a 15000 car when you can afford 100000, why buy a 150 suit when you can afford 1000 for a suit.

They can save for sure but to expect them to save millions if you are not a superstar is a bit much.
