    Nearly a dozen families of retired NFL players battling CTE have asked me to mention their struggles in our @NFL boycott.

        I quit watching the NFL years ago because of TBI & CTE. I felt it was immoral to encourage it. But I definitely support your current efforts

        True. But the money now makes the distant dementia seem less of a risk. I can't contribute to encouraging that health risk.

        I'm with you on Kaepernick but I had already decided to boycott this year because of CTE. Regardless of player choice, a game shouldn't kill

        I would ask you not to forget the children who have died w/CTE & the racism aspects that has helped them keep this issue hidden for decades.

        How noble of you to help these millionaires. Now when will you try to help the poor Black murder victims in Chicago--75% remain unsolved.

        Is your intention to stop the boycott when Kap has a team or are there other conditions like the CTE that are part of it?
