If he has had 6 concussions in his NFL career, how many did he have in college? HS? How many more will he have before one sets him down by it's choosing and not his own.
If he chooses to play I will cheer at every first down he pulls out.

"Should" and "will" are entirely different. I would probably agree with "should" myself. But that's not what got my attention, what got my attention was these assertions that Reed
will have a shortened career. They're not at all fact-based.
He has said he intends to keep playing. So unless somebody can demonstrate through data that concussions lead to a high likelihood of a shortened career
against the player's will, then this is stupid.
