How pathetic of a Pats fan loser do you have to be to resort to creating an imposter account to chase after an anonymous poster who haunts your every waking moment?

I OWN YOU, Imposter.

What’s the answer genius? Two-hand touch or flag fotoball? We could stick a 2 foot padded mushroom helmet on players, but they don’t even want to wear leg pads. These players ultimately are responsible for their decision to play such a violent game. They choose financial security, playing a game they love, and concussion symptoms over a crappy job, living paycheck to paycheck, and being healthier. As many of us would.

Excess padding will help make the deceleration somewhat more gradual for the collisions where the helmet hits something.

And most hits don’t involve an “immediate” deceleration, just the ones which are purely “head on” – the others either have a sideways component, or are tackles from behind would have a slower deceleration.

So helmet changes would definitely help. How much they would help would need to be researched.

1: Reduce pad level. Allow the players to feel the hits, (realistic feedback) the level of padding has become dangerous. They feel invincible on the field.

2: Shorten the cleat. It slows the player down, also reduces the ability of a player to launch themselves into another player. They have to learn to play under control.

I assume you slept in physics class?

If two objects collide the speed is added together. For instance if two players running 15mph collide that would be equivalent to 30mph collision of a stationary object.

Alot of variables exist but you have to take into account the speed/direction(acceleration) of both objects .

Yeah…. Worth less than the average middle class income, plus they have permanently lost their leg/hand whatever. I think keeping all your limbs and independedance while having millions of dollars and getting occasional headaches is similar huh? Your right. Idiot.

and correct me if i am wrong, but hasnt the NFLPA been around for quite some time?
maybe they should start being more proactive about this….

id like to see the NFL PA sued for negligence in protecting its players that it serves…..

The technology is there for better helmets. And they gotta police the steroids rampant that create bigger and faster players who will collide with each other more dangerously.

Maybe the multi billion dollar lawsuit will bring them down to sense and they will stop pretending to do the right thing and actually do it…..

If the NFL can prove that it shared all it knew about brain injuries and players chose to participate anyway, they’ll be fine.

If the players (or ex-players) can prove that the NFL knew it was more dangerous than they let on but kept the money machine churning by running players through without fully alerting them to the potential long-term threats to their health, they’ll pay in a very, very major way.

The poster who compared this to the tobacco lawsuits is dead on.

Don’t like it? Try harder in school. Geez, first you gotta show up for class.

@cooklynn17 when military personal lose a limb they get a check from the government for the rest of their life.

—————-

Many NFL players get their fair share of hazzard pay. Much more than a lifetime of military checks.

Have you seen ex offensive linmen hobbling around in their 50s on TV? There are negative long term health effects from playing NFL football. Just like Boxing (Seen Ali and Frazier lately?), MMA, Hockey, racing cars, and motor cycles, downhill skiing etc.

People choose to take these risks. The leagues work to make it safer, but the NFL is a warrior sport. Players are making a choice to potentially have long term health concerns for a chance at fame and glory. Later they may regret it, but they made the choice and fans like to watch these kind of contests. They have since the time of the Roman Gladiators.

That being said, in the quest to put the biggest, strongest and fastest on the field, the increase in risk of severe injuries comes along with it. In the end, it’s a wash in my opinion because they are well compensated (I would even argue that part of the level of compensation is because of the forgone conclusion that severe injury will occur at some point) and should plan appropriately if they are going to assume the risk. If they don’t, it’s at their own peril but i don’t harbor any ill will towards them as far as their compensation.

Players know the danger, and assume the risk…..but I don’t think young guys are thinking about what will happen when they are 50 years old.

They will, and here’s why:

Players receive concussions in pee wee, grade school, high school and college football.

Players take steroids, HGH and do tons of other drugs.

Good luck coming out looking like the victim when the defense attorney uses these things against players.

No jury in the world will ever convict the NFL when presented a simple defense. This whole thing is a total waste of time and tax payer money.

I hope you realize that if one player is running 20 mph one direction, and another player is running 20 mph straight at him, that is the same thing as running into a brick wall at 40 mph.

LOL, treesloth apparently gets physics better than you.

Made damn good money, too.
Sorry, no sympathy for men who have played football since the age of, what.. 8 years old?

These lawsuits by retired players are B.S. Hope they all get thrown out of court.

Besides, this guy just said he would still be playing and wants too play but can’t anymore because of the headaches and stuff. If the headaches went away he would be on the field, not worried about his health, do you know why…….probably for about 2 million dollars. The players are there own worst enemy. Its a dangerous sport, if you don’t want to get hurt than don’t play.

Yup, if someone were willing to pay him enough then he would be back in a heartbeat. My translation of this is-”I think I made enough $$ to live well for the rest of my life, but just in case I am going to leave the possibility of a lawsuit open in case I blow my money”.

Everyone beyond the age of 10 who has ever suited up knows the risks. Chances are they have seen someone break limbs or get knocked silly-few people stop playing because of risks because they enjoy the game, starting in HS the pretty girls that come with being a football star, special treatment. You cannot have it both ways-take the risks and hope you make millions or shut up and live by your brains or learned trade like the rest of us.
