You should read this. Head injuries are certainly dangerous, but there's a lot

To clarify

Adrielle

Then don't cite a study that gives misleading results.

NFL players are MUCH LESS LIKELY to commit suicide than the general public.

I just read that article. It did five me hope. But the press is our to destroy football

Adrielle

I don't think the NFL will be around in 20 years.

I WILL BET YOU RIGHT NOW THAT YOU ARE WRONG.

I think and hope you're wrong, but CFB would go first, no question about it..

Will Rugby take its place? BYU already wins championships there.

TailgateU

That's it. BYU is actually playing a brilliant long-game right now. Sacrifice

If Boxing & MMA Fighting still exist, then football isn't going anywhere

NOCAL_YFAN

Boxing used to be HUGE. Lots of attention / participation There was NCAA boxing.

ryebrye

9/21/17 8:50pm

Yes, because MMA (which is much more violent) has taken over.

sanitarium

MMA is more violent than Boxing? Probably.

Football has deep pockets that can be sued... the NFL, NCAA, the conferences

He also suffered from being a gansta.

Gangsta IS a disease. You can't beat it alone. Call the Gangsta Network for help

marklar39

9/21/17 10:51pm

Doesn't explain the thousands of similar crimes committed by non-CTE individuals

Y4LYFE

9/21/17 6:34pm

Not disputing that all, but the guy had serious issues well before then.

Sugarhood

I want to know how many people have CTE

davidmj10

9/21/17 6:42pm

The research is not close to as conclusive as we've been led to believe

jkccoug

9/21/17 7:09pm

What about using titanium plated helmets or graphene? Honestly I think you will

Scott_Tenorman

9/21/17 7:29pm

99.09% of statistics misrepresent the conclusion actually drawn

stoils

9/21/17 7:30pm

68.7% of statistics are made up on the spot. Every Steven Wright fan knows that.

My odd and unpopular opinion

rad dawg

9/21/17 7:34pm

Just like soldiers are willing to go to war for their countries, athletes will play football.

Turnpike Lane

9/21/17 8:29pm

Is there a control group of non-football players tested for CTE as well? That's

macdizzle

9/21/17 9:27pm

I somewhat agree. I also think players will take risks for the love of the game.

marklar39

9/21/17 10:57pm

Lol. Aaron Hernandez's criminal actions and especially his murders

Gerald-DeGroot

9/21/17 8:00pm

Are you going to keep your daughters from playing soccer, basketball or

cougaman

9/21/17 8:08pm

Girls Soccer is more dangerous.

Aaron Hernandez was a murderer. Concussions don't make you a murderer.

COACHdrn

He was investigated for shooting 2 guys as a 17-year old Freshman at UF.

dYrtbYkerYder

9/21/17 11:00pm

OH NO!!! He had CTE from Pop Warner and HS football.

marklar39

I was with you until you tried to justify the targeting rule.

Resurgens

9/21/17 10:30pm

Rugby, MMA, boxing, hockey and rodeo too? Not sure where the line is?

BYUfan92

9/21/17 10:39pm

Even soccer, basketball, etc. You'd probably find cte traces in those pro

Gerald-DeGroot

Will you let them play anything? Rodeo? Soccer? Boxing? Skiing? Or is football

BYUfan92

9/24/17 3:33pm

Good for you. I won't let my son out of his protective bubble. Crochet is safe.

marklar39

9/24/17 6:04pm

They won't play organized sports known for causing head trauma. Boxing included.
