Carlos Monzon, Edwin Valero. Look them up.
I thought this was in general, if you want too focus on specific cases we can probably find hockey, soccer and bball players doing stupid shyt too.

I don't see the problem in making the game safer
lets just play flag football then. everyone would be happy, right ? safe and no one would be getting hit. everything is going that way too. casual fans love high scoring, casual fans love them some fine quarterbacking and beautiful spirals and ooh ahh passes

should get rid of the lines too, aint no one wanna see big ass motherfukkers blocking, who needs that shyt ? :camby: as a matter of fact, have pass rushers count to 5 Mississippi and ditch the lines altogether. ditch rbs too. just have qb wrs and secondary. I bet shyt would be :ahh: status

This, lol. Are people seriously unaware that football players were beating their families and murdering themselves because they were so mentally fukked up from playing? It's not soft to try to protect players and their families. :heh: I think sometimes people forget that NFL players are human beings with loved ones and that in the end, it's just a game.

Guess it's soft for military personnel to wear bullet proof vests and for cars to have airbags.
there are millions (probably billions) of violent men who beat their families and don't play football :youngsabo:

dumb rhetoric. boxing is just a game too, how come boxers aint beatin their families and murdering themselves ? and they take beatings just as bad. you are stretching cause and effect trying to match them together.

Well some boxers do, first of all. And I guess you don't realize that CTE is way more prevalent in football players than boxers, or athletes of any other sport for that matter. The VA/Boston U study showed that 96% of the former football players' brains they studied had CTE.

That aside, football players tend to show different symptoms because of the type of impacts they get. CTE is broad disease with different subtypes and symptoms. Boxers usually get injuries to the midbrain and cerebellum that leads to them being "punch drunk"...wobbly, messed up speech, Parkinson's, etc. whereas the acceleration/deceleration impacts football players get tend to result in mood disorders as well. That's why you see so many former football players engaging in erratic behavior dangerous to themselves and others--like Belcher blowing his brains out in front of the team, Strzelzyck speeding the wrong way on the interstate trying to kill himself, Seau driving his jeep off a cliff then later shooting himself, etc.

What was the point of bringing up boxers as a point of comparison anyway? Are you REALLY trying to deny the medically-proven causative link between CTE and aggression, impulsivity, dementia, etc. and just trying to blame it on personalities of people who play a violent sport?:snoop: You sound like someone who does PR for the tobacco or fossil fuel industry.

the point is that while both sports are violent, no one is screaming that boxing should stop having people hit other people hard. people understand its a vital part of the sport.

whereas in football, everyone is trying to act like it's not. defense and hard hitting is just as important to football as throwing fukking passes or scoring altogether.

I dont expect you to understand.

this is exactly why Im rooting for any defense worth a shyt in playoffs, to see them knock some motherfukkers on offense out with hard hits, no matter flag or not. fukk being timid in a handicapped position, go all out and fukk those plush finesse flag football offenses up.

Yeah of course you are rooting for ppl besides yourselves to get injured cause you don't have to be on the field to see what it feels like.

The WHOLE point of football is to have one team outscore the other. Thats it. Hitting is allowed because it helps to stop the other team from advancing. The main purpose was never intended to try to paralize or fracture other players. While we understand it happens theres a BROADER purpose to the game of football than violence.

Stop being dense and deal with it.
