        I do, but the fact of the matter is that it just keeps on continuing like this, for example the NFL won't just shut down tomorrow...

        Does the NFL even acknowledge that it's a problem, I wonder?

        And you've probably read the literature. This is an accumulation of many many hits that don't show symptoms or signs.

        Colleges need to pay athletes or discontinue the sport. How many catch it playing in the #NCAA

        They probably make even more money on the college level on these players. I'm almost sure the college make more. And these kids are dying.

        I'm not trying to be callous but that's their choice. They should make sure they're getting an education while they can.

        Knowingly endangering other people's lives is always wrong and more often than not it's illegal. So. No excuses are valid here.

        Good point but this didn't just start. Most athletes starting played sports as small children. It didn't all of a sudden become dangerous.
