The fact that they get their entire college degree for no cost was to point out that they can quit at any time. They don't have huge college loans to worry about and they have already made millions of dollars, enough to pay cash for a house and all its contents, start a college fund for their kids, put a ton of money in the bank for retirement and now they have a college degree so that they can go out and get a job that isn't putting them at any kind of physical risk. They are adults, adults who have the choice to continue their football career or take the millions they have and do something else. 

That has nothing to do with indifference to people's possible medical issues. It comes down to adults having free will. No one is making them continue to play football. 

 

If you are comfortable watching a group of individuals predominantly from low socioeconomic backgrounds endure traumatic brain injuries for inordinately large paychecks, football is for you.

If you are comfortable with a multi-billion dollar industry (the NFL)  spending the last twenty years silencing studies and scientific research that links their sport to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), football is for you.

If you are comfortable with the recent death of a 27 year old professional footballer Tyler Sash, who was found to have CTE, or comfortable with the rash of suicides of college and professional level footballers who were later found to have significant brain damage, football is for you.

If you are an empatheticly retarded, violence enthusiast, who is comfortable with people killing themselves for money, the blood sport of football might very well be for you.

 

You, and everyone else watching (or singing the National Anthem) at the Super Bowl this Sunday is complacent in supporting a horrendous national past time.

Football was not predominately from lower socioeconomic groups until the last couple of decades. Back in the late 1800s, it began at Ivy League Colleges and was exclusively made up of white players until 1950. During much of that time, the helmets were nothing more than a thick leather hat. 

Adults make their own choices. Football players currently know of the risks and dangers, just like any other person who chooses an occupation or hobby with risks to their health. 

If you don't care for it, don't watch. Hundreds of millions of people around the world will be watching, no one will miss you of care.

As you are no doubt aware football in the 1800's or even the 1950's is not the same as football in 2016, because of contemporary helmets the sport is more dangerous now then it ever was.

But we are not talking about what football was, we are talking about what football is. We are talking about the responsibility you and I have as the viewing public. You should feel an ethical responsibility as a spectator to speak out against a corrupt organization who is more interested in higher profit margins then in the welfare of its employees.

As you have not disagreed with a single statement I have made about the NFL I must assume that you too are disgusted by their negligence, which makes your defense of football all the more strange.

The problem isn't the contemporary helmets. The head injuries mostly come from falling to the ground and hitting your head while going at great speeds or from jumping high in the air.

Remember, that there are far more white and middle class kids playing football at the younger ages and in high school, when concussions are frequent. 

I don't feel a bit of responsibility. Parents are responsible for their kids, if they want to play football, play soccer, ski, box, etc.  When those kids turn 18, they are responsible for their decisions. If they decide to take risks, that's fully their right and their responsibility. 

Just like soccer, boxing, driving race cars, BASE jumping, white water rafting, skydiving, bull riding, bull fighting, big-wave surfing, high altitude climbing...football players know they are involved in a sport that carries certain risks. Adults have free will, some use that free will to participate in risky hobbies, sports or occupations. If you don't like it, don't do it...and don't watch others do it. No one is making you watch a sport...or follow it.

The fact that you haven't once addressed the issue of the NFL's negligence in this case tells me that you are either ignorant of their unethical behavior, or less interested in having a conversation then you are interested in having an argument. Either way, there isn't anything either of us are going to get out continuing this conversation.

The consensus among athletes and sports journalists is clear, football has to change if it wants to survive. So enjoy your little blood sport while you can, and tell me how Gaga does on Sunday.

Okay, I will. Nah, it's not my job to inform you. Since you feel so strongly about it all, why wouldn't you skip all the threads and information? If you are really that much against it, don't be a hypocrite and half ass your little boycott. Do it for real and don't support it at all!

What a strange response, you seem upset and confused.

Here is a link to a free documentary on PBS about the NFL's criminal negligence. Check it out.

No thanks.

When I have kids, I will direct them towards something other than risky sports and hobbies. 

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to play contact sports.

I mean... yeah, but there are worst paid jobs that have the same, if not more, risks than football. I wouldn't be a fireman for example because... the risk wouldn't the worthy for me. And same with football. If they want to play it is because they want. This is not like Rome where gladiators were obligated to fight... any football player can quit.

They have chosen their job, they could eassily quit if they wanted to. No one is forcing them. And by that I am not making the consequences sound less important, of course it is a mess (And by no way I would defend the NFL covering up all that ****). But the thing is that, nowadays, everyone knows that. Just like any other job. I am a teacher, and some day anyone could come into my class with a gun and shoot everyone including me, or a crazy student could do something stupid... it is a risk, but I like what I do. A doctor who goes to treat people with ebola could get the virus. A person who works at a nuclear plant could die because of radiation. A F1 driver could die in an accident. A singer could be shoot in a concert. A person working at a quarry could get breathing issues. A workman coulg be damaged on his back forever... and a long long long etc.

Should I feel more sorry for these football players? At least they are getting their millions to live 30 times my life. For the rest, they are the same as most of the workers. People who chose their jobs, they like it, there are risks, and they keep them.

The odds of a singer being shot while performing are incredibly slim. The odds of a teacher being the victim of a school shooting are slim, even in America. Due to strict precautions the odds of a doctor catching Ebola are slim. The odds of a professional football player suffering from brain damage? Certainty. That is the difference.

Men are literally destroying their brains on live television for our entertainment. Boston University did autopsies on 79 former NFL players and 76 tested positive for CTE. There has been a rash of suicides by former players, all of whom were found to have been suffering from CTE. We know for a fact that the way football is played is detrimental to the health of the players.

If you are comfortable with that, as it seems most people in American and in this thread are, then by all means continue watching football and supporting the NFL. I'll just be in the minority who opt out of supporting destructive personal choices and the evil corporation who profits from those destructive personal choices.
