Re: The movie "Concussion"
The NFL was wrong for covering up the truth about concussions if that's in fact what they did. However, all the risks are out in the open now. It's a hazardous profession like coal mining. My body aches everyday. My back is bad at 25 years old. I didn't even decide to pursue college football, but the price my body paid from 5 to 17 was tremendous. Would I do it again? **** yeah. Would I take a couple of concussions to play in the NFL right now? Again, **** yeah. Football is a gladiator sport played by grown men old enough to make their own decisions. If my son wants to play, and God I hope he does, I'll do whatever I can to make sure he's the best he can be and goes as far as he wants to go.
