WCACguy Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Not me. First of all in 50 years I would be 112...not happening. And I believe football is the greatest sport ever invented. No other sport teaches teamwork, selflessness, sacrifice, toughness, brotherhood and work ethic as much as football does. If you believe it's unsafe and not worth the risk then don't play...but don't tell me I can't reap the many benefits that football offers because of what you think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being stubborn doesn't make you right, it just makes you closed-minded. And I question whether you have your own opinions. You're not old enough to have opinions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close-minded people always deny that they are close-minded. It’s sort of a truism. I know you attended Bergen Catholic, so let me know if you want me to define “truism.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasball Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 On 4/9/2019 at 9:10 AM, HSFBfan said: Let the local teams raise money for better equipment. Would it be nice to see the NFL donate money but there are leagues across the country with millions of kids. So who gets the money? Kids today are so protected it should make you sick. They arent allowed to do anything everything is about caution for this and that. Kids are going to get hurt. Kids are going to do dumb things. It happens. The NFL gives ton of money to youth football. equipment is not the reason for concussions. You can buy the best equipment on the market and have the best strength program and still be concussed if your are hit or fall just right. The #1 thing that you can be done to limit concussions in football is to Strengthen the neck and head muscles and to keep your head/eyes up. Yet nothing is 100% with the game being played with such fast players who play not worried about getting hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the NFL has some sort of secret formula to not have the law of physics work against its players brains ain't much good some equipment is gonna do. Not to mention the cost would be unobtainably expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Scratch Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Pretty good study on CTE a Dr. Friend sent me. Tau protein—a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases including CTE, Alzheimer’s, and certain kinds of dementias—“becomes toxic and destroys brain tissue” as it accumulates, says Stern. In their study, the researchers found evidence of abnormal tau proteins in living people by comparing experimental PET scans of 31 control subjects without any history of head trauma or psychological symptoms against 26 former National Football League players who have self-reported cognitive, mood, and behavior symptoms associated with CTE. The experimental PET scan detected greater amounts of abnormal tau protein buildup in the group of living former NFL players compared to the control group. “It can’t yet be used for individual diagnosis,” Stern cautions. “We analyzed group data, not individual findings.” Yet, after a decade of doing CTE research himself, he admits it’s a crucial step toward the ultimate goal of diagnosing CTE in living individuals. “From day one,” Stern says, “I had hoped for there to be a tau tracer for PET scans in humans. It’s such an important thing…to be able to see and quantify tau.” Stern says scientific data suggests that it’s not necessarily concussions that cause the neurodegenerative disease known to have affected hundreds of military veterans and former NFL stars, including Aaron Hernandez, Dave Duerson, Junior Seau, and Andre Waters, among others. “CTE is a buzzword these days,” Stern says. But “a lot of people are confused about what it is, what causes it…. There’s a lot of misconception out there that it’s caused by concussions.” https://www.bu.edu/research/articles/toward-cte-diagnosis-in-living-people/?fbclid=IwAR03Y-xg4OMDtXeO7LocM8gEe_nYnh8h8oaq5h8ZNfZg-kiB6Q9ZEyn9Mpk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
