It may be surprising but back in the day the word concussion was never used. In my day it was called “ you got your bell rung” no one ever missed games because of head injuries. It seems so crazy now.

@gr8dvd 3 ай бұрын

What now seems reckless was understandable years ago b/c we didn’t know better. I ‘played’ HS football and enjoyed so much played mud bowl - tackle football w/o pads/helmets. Now it would be crazy b/c research is clear on link between concussions & CTE.

Totally agree. The phrase "got your bell rung" was used often on hard hits. Some guys took that as a badge of honor that they played hard. No one knew the science behind it then.

Maybe so players don't see the forces that they are being hit with?? The NFL doesn't do anything for player head protect, they'll spend 100 million in ads saying they spent a million on players safety. It's bullshit window dressing.

The 85 bears was my team. I was a superfan. Besides having the greatest player to ever play the game (IMO) Walter Payton, it had the greatest team and I think saved the NFL from obscurity in which it was headed. I'm and old guy that morns the loss of so many on that team. I almost cried when Payton made the live announcement of his cancer. I prayed for him every night, but also all the others that are now suffering for their life and aggressive play that made them the best. I will continue to pray for the souls we've lost from that team as well as those that are still here. The NFL and Players Association owe players more than just a minimum pat on the back and a bottle of pain pills. These teams that are building Billion Dollar Stadiums need to be spending Billions of dollars on players that have given their lives, literally, to the game. Thanks Jim. You were one of the coolest and toughest QB's ever and never got the respect you deserved. God bless all

I don’t watch sports and refuse to see my talented strong son play a game that will ruin his body. He has been training under me since he was 7 to be a blacksmith and welder. He will live a good healthy life because I have protected him from being coerced into sports and instead have passed on my skills to him which bought us the farm we own outright. He eats food we grow without pesticides or gmo seeds and knows how to work the soil without depleting it. All our food animals are fed stuff we grow and he has also learned to build his own bows and arrows both stone tipped and steel, and is a better hunter than I ever was because I started teaching him young.

I played football and got the crap beat out of me. I knew how dangerous the sport was before any studies came out. I assumed the risk and I would not blame another for any injury I suffered. These pro football players had to know that lingering effects from injuries were a possibility, including brain damage. From now on, the NFL should have all players sign a waiver of liability stating the potential for serious injury and/or death could occur as a result of playing the sport.

The NFL has has tried to avoid taking any blame for the games resulting, long term brain injuries. This has to change.

They were even better in '86. Should have won it that year, too.

It’s not just the NFL it’s people. Letting your little kids play football at fifth grade before their brains are even developed. It’s stupid the sport is stupid. Please don’t let your little kids play football. I would never of let my sons play
