Re: Around the NFL Week 17
There are so many players whose bodies and minds are ruined from this game. Seau, Duerson, so many lives ruined. Those ones died. There are hundreds others who cant walk, cant think, cant move. It is such a violent game. My brother in law from England was here recently talking about how they don’t wear pads in rugby I was like if football players wore shorts and shirts someone would be dead every time they played. They are the fastest, strongest, biggest athletes in the world hitting each other at full speed. I really hope to hear good news about Hamlin today. I could honestly care less about football at this point. I realize they sign up for it. I realize they make enough money to set their families up for life. But I could care less if they announce today that we signed Wentz and Rivera to 30 year contracts. It is a game and an extremely violent one. They need to reinvent the entire uniform again with some sort of flexible armor in it. I have never been less interested in the game as i am right now.
