Playing pro sports is no different that working on a Crab boat, Logging or any other dangerous job. Players know the risk they are well compensated. How many players have guns to their heads at the NFL draft?

What are they gonna say when someday hopefully way down the road they get a Chance to look at Ali's brain? A boxer who when his speed left him, he used the Rope a dope tactic against hard hitting George Foreman. Ali himself said in that fight he wasn't really there but his body was on auto-pilot.
MU great and NFL great Justin Smith was asked about this and he said a lot of this is being cherry picked from a time when football was played completely differently then it is now. He was asked if he would let his kids play and he said yes but not till HS, when they will have coaches who know how to the technical and safe way to play. He said in the little leagues they don't. He said his kids will work on the farm till then.
I think the sports scene will change because of kids getting softer. We have kids now getting participation awards for everything.
