[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 246824, member: 6150"] Damn, this here is a tough read. I had the pleasure of working with Jason on a project about 4 years ago. I would have never guessed any of this was going on and the news of his death in September floored me. [url]https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/sports/cte-football-hairston-super-bowl.html[/url] Also kind of related, if you want some motivation so make a leap for a big hunting trip, they just put this together for your viewing pleasure also:[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Q17zA55Os[/url] So, C.T.E. is obviously no joke and they're finding it in about 95% of all deceased NFL players that they check. I'm curious if you guys are allowing your kids to play sports like football. I certainly will not be encouraging it. I think by the time my son is old enough to play, there will be enough information that I may not allow him to. In my small school, we started playing in the 7th grade. So we had 6 years of head bashing. Now they are starting kids in about the 3rd grade when their brains are developing the most. I really think that in 20 years we will look back on this as something akin to child abuse. I also think the NFL will be a thing of the past in 20 years; but that is another topic. Time will tell, but this shit scares me. [/QUOTE]
