Fascinating discussion about a topic that is becoming more and more prevalent. And it’s not just football players but other contact sports as well like boxing and hockey, and soldiers with traumatic brain injury from combat. The thing that concerns me most about this disease is the erratic behavior it can cause. It can cause suicidal depression. I don’t know what the answer is because I loves me some football. It’s scary though when you think of children playing the game. My little grandson is starting flag football this year and already I worry about him.
I guess now I have to wrestle with this also. Thanks a lot Michael. 😉
Cash… if it takes you feel any better, I was miserable first. 🙂
Good interview.This is an issue that needs to be delt with.I choose not to watch the Super Bowl this year.
One of the complicating factors seems to be that the NFL has at least as bad of a wink and nod policy toward PEDs as MLB had over the last few decades. The problem being that in baseball, bigger faster and stronger was generally being inflicted on small spheres covered with leather, where in football the impact of that lifestyle is being taken out on other human beings.
I think that the NFL could at least save us from some of this moralizing by biting the bullet and truly cleaning up the game. At least by that point we might have a better idea what we’re looking at.
On the other hand you have to really wonder, with the astronomical amount of money at stake, if anyone really had the guts to take any meaningful steps.
