The players are more important than the game. Sorry. It's just a game. Players should not be asked to risk their life for our entertainment -- and of course they are tough and brave. We also want smart players. Smart players don't want to be a vegetable, even for a ring, or $30M.

What are you guys, ex-boxers?

I've played rugby for 35 years without a helmet and had multiple concussions. They are making way too much out of this.............errr, what were we talking about? I can't remember.

While I agree overall with your assessment we can't treat the players like victims. The players know what they are doing out there, they know it shortens their life. It is after their choice to be on the field.
