Did you read any of the articles a few weeks ago about Michael Keck? Mizzou player who died of this disease at 27 or 28? He believed he had it, and it was proven after his death. He probably developed it before he ever got to college. It affected every aspect of his life, he couldn't hold a job, became abusive toward his wife, became very isolated, couldn't remember simple things. Horrible. His brain was examined after his death and the disease was surprisingly advanced. He was a LB. Too many hits to the head and concussions.
I love the sport. Love everything about it. But I'd want the kids in my family to play baseball.

I did and I see both sides. I also look at our military and what all they go through. They are not nearly as well compensated for their heroic service. Then look at Farmers/Ranchers who at 50 their bodies are beat to hell. Construction workers. Some do it bc they love it or its out of nessceity. When I look at it from that prospective my feelings are not as strong towards football players.
