Some of you are the most ignorant, uncaring, jealous, hideous POS’s around. God help your children.

This is a sport for MEN. These are the gladiators of our time and we’re trying to neuter them.

Let them play, let them make their own decisions.

There are plenty of jobs that men do in America that have inherent dangers associated with them and for a lot less money.

College players get compensated with a free education. nfl players get paid millions of dollars…if they don’t want to risk concussion, they can opt to be safe by working in a cubicle for $30,000 per year.

Everyone involved knows the risk. I think most of America would risk a concussion or two for a multi million dollar payday.

The press focuses on the small minority who have post concussion problems. Instead of the multitude of players who have had a concussion and suffer no problems later in life.

Anyone who has played the game, even High School players, have gotten their “bell rung.” 99% live normal lives today.

Your constant focus on the concussions will only end up ruining the game. We all know the risk and so do the players. Lets let them make the decision with their own futures.

There in lies the problem… You can pass any rule you want, or make any proclamation you want. Every player knows this is a violent game. I retired from the military, I knew it was a dangerous profession when I joined. So did the coal miner, the fire-fighter and the policeman. Just ask any Doctor if you want to hear about a lawyers true worth…

And it’s their choice. I understand the NFLPA, Owners and Rule Committee reasoning for the testing and I understand that players will dodge it.

Aren’t a lot of older playing having health and financial issues? Hire those players to talk to today’s players about some of the health issues they are going through.

This belief has formed the backbone of our nanny state, the belief that citizens are children who can’t be trusted not to put their hand in the flame on the stove.

I agree that there should be an independent neurologist available to the players during the game, should the PLAYER so choose to utilize him/her.

Players should sign a waiver saying that if they choose to conceal concussion symptoms or refuse to be examined, it is their problem. Teams should only be held liable for putting obviously concussed players back on the field.

If a player makes a conscious effort to conceal symptoms (and a mildly concussed player could) and steers clear of the neurologist on the sideline, he takes responsibility for the consequences.
