he's an idiot
I dont doubt some of them got their brains in a bind because of drinking and drugs, but I doubt 18 year old kids are getting CTE from being alcoholism and drugs also.
Also, maybe the head trauma lead to the self medication? Nah, couldnt be that to Tim Brown. Its gotta be "non-Christian" living.

By having conversations with older players who talk slow as fukk and needed help. We KNEW this

Ok...but we're talking about the players that decided to strap up. There was a tacit understanding of what comes with the sport in their parts from Day 1. They're being dishonest. Seeing Jerome Bettis a few years back BEFORE everything was exposed, crying over Earl Campells health problems showed that many of these players long knew what comes with the game. There's been too many examples of this for me to believe players are SUDDENLY like"this could happen to me!!!"
The players' decision to play while knowing the risks is irrelevant. First, I feel there is a moral responsibility on the league's part not to expose players to safeguard its employees from egregious and avoidable harm. Second, I feel brain damage and its effects are extreme a consequence for the layman to accept, and a greater focus on said dangerous could reduce interest, participation and viewership. A sharp decline in any of the aforementioned variables could mean a death kneel for the sport in general. The best tradeoff is to make the game safer. It is best for players, fans and the sport.
Man, thats nonsense.
There was no science and hard data like there is now.
They didn't know by going back in a game after getting a concussion was a big deal
I remember in the 90s after a big hit the players would go on the sideline smell some salts and go back in the next possession

Well he also claimed Bill Callahan sabotaged his own team during a Super Bowl so Tim obviously thinks on a different level..

Players obviously didn't know the full extent of potential brain damage before the concussion expose. Hardly anyone knew.
it's definitely a valid argument.
Everyone's body is different, so some may escape CTE and some wont....but I'm sure all that extra stuff can help add to the deterioration. It certainly does no positives.

We didn't need hard data to quantify what we already knew. That's non football player talk and denial on the part of fans
Exactly.
Chuck Muncie used to float around our locker room all of the time telling us what was up. The original pioneers have that research excuse, but Jim McMahon needs to get the fukk outta here talking about he didn't know.
