I understand his point of view but he significantly undermined himself by not quitting BEFORE he got the L. Football, on a fundamental level, doesn't change from one level to another. The game just speeds up. If he had these inklings prior to, he should have simply not entered the draft and gone through the process. Discontinuing his football career after college would have made far more sense than quitting after his rookie season. In fact, I think we all know that he wouldn't have stories on ESPN or be the subject of interviews had he simply quit after college. Makes me wonder if has ulterior motives. Either way, hope he does well with whatever he pursues after football.

League of Denial showed how underhanded the league is about protecting itself

They basically stonewalled the concussion researchers at every opportunity and had ESPN ignore the story as long as possible

They made the Nigerian doctor look like a crazy with doctor..dude was crying on that documentary for what they put him through

I know all big leagues/corporations are about money and their brand but the nfl is a whole nother level of greedy imo

Well I hate to say it but football is a barbaric sport and dangerous. My cousin played in the nfl and even won heismen, and sad the same thing:yeshrug:


Its a risk/reward but also a way out for a lot of black men

Man my uncle played in the nfl and won the jim thorpe award and he told me the same thing :ohhh:

a lot of people retire nowadays with a million or two in the bank without playing football and risking brain damage. its not a huge sum of money nowadays like it used to be.
