Scary stuff!

I don't see how concussion can be avoided in the NFL. The game would have to change dramatically to the point where it would not resemble in the least, football as we know it today.

The guys getting into the sport today must realize that they are putting their life in jeopardy. I don't think they should be allowed to sue the NFL, especially now that they "know" getting hit in the head can cause brain damage. Who would have thought...

I think at some point we will see something like a 3 and out rule regarding concussion in the NFL. (After so many concussions, career over).
