Ding Ding Ding we have a winner…..a great deal of things have come about in the last 25 years based on research-cell phones, the internet, etc-there is also a better understanding of things such as concussions.

What he was told 25-30 years ago may have been incorrect based on recent findings, but does that mean he was lied to? My definition of a lie is misleading someone in a deliberate manner. If I for example read in a textbook today that 1+1=2 and I tell people this for the next 30 years until someone shows that 1+1=3, then have I lied to everyone? Not by my definition-it just means that I would be telling lies if I continued to say 1+1=2

I agree. Start by providing your real name. If you’re gonna slam Jim and talk about accountability, you’re nothing but a hypocrite if you won’t state who you are. I can claim I played with Jim and saw him beg to not go back on the field because he was dizzy and sick to his stomach and they told him he would be cut if didn’t. Of course, that’s a lie. I never played a down with McMahon. But if I didn’t admit it was a lie, my story would be just as impossible to prove as your’s is. Unless, of course, you tell us who you are. That’s what accountability demands.

I do see it as funny, but also a bit sad. They had no idea slamming into each other at full speed, when the athletes’ measurements of strength makes the rest of society look like emaciated ethiopians, would possible cause long-term damage? Your telling me, while they were getting paid very well, to play a game, they had no plausible reason to think that if you could break the largest/thickest bones in your body, you might just sustain brain injuries? No body forced them into those situations, they volunteered. Society owes them nothing, they didn’t fight or die so the rest of us could survive, they aren’t heroes. The saddest part of the story is not how delusional and child like these guys are acting, its how flaming, cry baby, excuse making, empowerers like yourself make it so easy for the players to blame someone else for their problems. The other sad part of this, it’s that same thinking that is going to sink the NFL and make others sports, who are already full a weenies(except the NHL), into a bigger joke then they are now.

Who started the anti-McMahon backlash? Dan Hampton, that’s who.

Rule #2: Even when they say it is not about the money, it is about the money.

So what about the head trauma in Pee Wee football? In middle school football? In high school and college football? In practice? What about all the doctors?

Why is the NFL the only one culpable?

Alcohol doesn’t kill brain cells I guess either – just ask Mr DUI.

I don’t see any humor in making jokes on this subject.
