Yeah, it doesn't seem that alarming there would be lasting damage to the brain. Let's look at wrestlers too.

Having experienced at least nine major concussions and numerous severe head injuries throughout his adventurous and accident-prone life, this is also what has been theorized as the cause of Ernest Hemingway committing suicide.

The numbers we used to have before this is the ratio in soccer : rugby : gridiorn were 1:2:10, that 10 just blew up. Still, the issue seems to be the helmets and the use of them as battering rams, somethig that doesn't happen in league, union or afl. That said, they better be studying this.

NARCO-HIDROVIA: Adjacent Regions Puerto Busch (Bolivia) & Fortin Patria (Paraguay) — Known as Two of South America’s Most Strategic Narco-Trafficking Routes — Controlled by U.S. Intelligence Community, Trump-Partnered Local “Jackals” christianintelligence.com/narco-hidrov...

CTE was originally known as pugilistic dementia -- boxer's brain. Also known as "punch-drunk syndrome."

What's the cause of degenerative brain disease for Trump supporters?

They are willing participants who are very well compensated.

The movie 'Concussion' from 2015 told the story of immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu a forensic pathologist who fights to make his research known when he links football players' concussions to CTE. In the decade since, capital concentrating NFL owners have just ignored the danger. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

Teddy Roosevelt had the chance to ban it (players were dying on the field!); instead they invented the forward pass

Maybe they think the pros are willing to destroy their bodies for that ever-increasing $20 million annual salary. Contemptible on both sides.

In days of old when men were bold and facemasks weren't invented They ran like hell knowing all too well that sometimes they'd get dented.

In other news, water is wet. Are we going to keep studying what we already know or make changes?

Roger Goodell is going to get a huge pay rise for ignoring this now also

terrible sport! only we have it!!!

Support your local sports instead of the rich. How about that?

Oh. But Americans love violence much more. Sorry guys. The insane amount your paid should help compensate. America has a twisted love affair with violence. Just a fact. The Alpha male syndrome. Fake men who look stupid and talk even stupider.

We've known this for many years. But - due to the insatiable greed of wealthy white owners nothing is done to protect players. The @NHL is guilty too. And the NHL players are 95% white. Its about MONEY.

Who'd a thunk!! Fucking idiots. I haven't been able to watch football since the movie Concussion!!

Makes you wonder what high hit sports like boxing or UFC would show. Even the pro snow industry whose injuries for falls on aerials are well documented. Former pro snowboarder Kevin Pearce being a well-known example.

Maybe if, like proper football players, they used their feet to address a ball (the clue is in the word) the risks would be stratospherically lower amongst those of an egg-chucking cringeballing disposition 🤷‍♂️

While we cheer them on...

Were these players who played some or all or none of their careers during safety rules? Deaths from "old age" or directly due to injury or brain disability over time? What positions did they play?

#TheJetsons had it right all along: Let the #AI play football guided by humans. 🤖🤖🤖 youtu.be/humlPDsNyVQ?...

Look up Dr. Amen, he started studying CTE back in 1999.

Why is this alarming? Concussions have been turning brains to paste since... forever.

And Arby’s

Time to go all in on flag football

How many players have to die on the field before something is done? Hell, a few years ago on Thanksgiving MULTIPLE high schoolers in my state died during games!

This is a modern day gladiators situation. Are you not entertained?

They had a guy enter decorticate posture right on the field on TV a few years ago. I can't believe people kept watching after that.

Water is wet, study says... Whenever you stimulate people to be careless, expect the worst results

And yet the entire Republican Party and their followers are focusing on parents allowing their children to “damage” themselves with puberty blockers and hormones.

Have to fix cultural systemic issues around the lack of upward mobility for many families to make this risk not worth it.

And they call this sport. Only a completely ignorant society can define a purely violent event as sport.
