I dont know if they've totally disavowed any links as they've changed the rules completely, changed the helmets etc. They need to do more, but I dont think their heads are completely in the sand either. Concussion acknowledgment is night and day from 10 years ago when it was considered a minor injury. The only way to completely take out any risk would be to remove the helmets entirely.

Some folks will always regret playing and some will never.

And yes the PT hustle is big time. Have a bunch of friends who have gone that route...it's a lot of work but it seems to have paid off. Business builds pretty rapidly if you set yourself up right.

breh even if they come out with the latest helmet technology(which won't fix shyt by the way), what are you going to do about the spinal cord?

There's nothing you can do that will totally remove the risk.

I don't really see the difference between a combat sport and football, at least there's some transparency with boxing/MMA where they are like "yeah, you do this and it could fukk up your health big time" with football there's none of that and they basically disavow any links between the sport and head trauma.

Two of my friends played D1 football, one is a personal trainer (made a thread about him & the PT hustle) now and the other is a teacher, both regret it big time because of how their bodies feel and they have nothing to show for it

It's honestly hard to say because the experience in college was amazing, but at the end of the day man I don't think I would do it again. Its been two years since I last played and I had to leave work early today because of migraines from post concussion. Two years later, breh. No chance my kid is playing football unless he wants to be a kicker.

 

[The Maverick]

I always ask if the dudes that enjoy football so much would let their sons play.

[Buggsy Mogues]

I don't feel bad for these guys. They get paid tens of millions of dollars to play in the NFL, and they know the risks. If you don't want head injuries, go take a 9-to-5 desk job nikka.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

I enjoy watching football but if I ever have a son, I'll be damned if he's playing that shyt

Basketball, baseball, soccer, and / or tennis. Pick something lil' man.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Only cats that will have a full,successful career with no serious head injuries in football are kickers.Rest of these dudes are cutting their lifespan short.

 

[dennis roadman]

wait wait wait brehs

sometimes soccer players hit their heads too

 

[patscorpio]

its a shame

 

[intruder]

American Football, while entertaining, is a dangerous sport. I love the sh!t but some of the hits make me cringe just watching them. Only in this sport and boxing will you often hear this.
