OUCH !!! Enough of These WILL Scramble Your Brains....
Football is a tough sport that often causes concussions, which is why I never played. My brain is messed up enough without deliberately trying to injure myself. However, for the big money that you can make in the NFL, lots of people are willing to pay that price. A few of them have ended quite tragically. Some of those guys who played the game are now willing to try and find out if multiple trauma like concussions lead to the behavior that leads to ex-NFL'ers endng up in violent deaths...
So far 16 athletes in various contact sports have agreed to have their brains taken out and studied after they die. I kid you not..... They will be checked for injury that may lead to violent behavior, depression and other types of mental illness. It's really an extreme thing that these guys are willing to do to try and help fellow athletes.
The NFL is also conducting their own study into the matter, but it's not due until 2010 - and I doubt it will judge the NFL very harshly. What sport would be dumb enough to open itself to endless lawsuits ? For some of these guys, that is not fast enough...
