NFL Leaders Testify About Head Injuries

[LuciferOldwine]

no one deserves to sacrifice his health or his life for the sake of entertaining a blood thirsty american mass who watches it as a kind of blockbuster show rather than a sport.

James Harrison's hit was LEGAL, Mr. Goodell, ya fuckin' douchebag. Fine THIS you cocksucker.

[heartlessvietboy]

The helmet is worn for head protection, not as a weapon to use against your opponent.

[MrRonLafleur]

YOU MAKE A CHOICE! DAMN IT! TO PROVIDE FOR YOU FAMILIES, TAKE THE INJURY, OR GET OUT! YOUR CHOICE, NOT OURS!! This is rough sport. Its not for premadonas.

[TooMuchGass]

@MrRonLafleur In scandinavia we call it "double morals"

[lialammas]

This was never a good sport in my opinion to much violence anyway...

[dcjhrj]

this has nothing to do with rome burning

[Steadno]

keep it clean yall

Footballers,

We have young men and women coming back from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, & throughout the Middle East and lets not forget those from Viet Nam & Korea. These young people were shot up and blown up protecting this country so that you footballers could go out there and bash each other's heads in. You guys are coked up, steroided out, and pain killer loaded to provide the fans some Sunday entertainment. And you're paid quite well. The injured warriors coming back need this attention.

my father who played in the 1970's wasnt payed all that great and like Kenny Easley was overdosed with supplements. now hes 55 with over 12 operations performed and has to fly to san deigo from seattle twice a year to go see a neurologist. so...

jesus christ, our government is stupid

With all of the shit going on in the world this is what the House Judiciary Committee is researching! Those thugs get paid too much money to play full contact sports. Perhaps they should set a little of their salary aside in case they get injured. Is the NFL a priority for the health care issue? Historically popular sporting events have been used to distract the masses from the affairs of the state. I'm glad we live in such an enlightened and progressive country where that can never happen!

[puppydog88]

I have one problem with what you said, you said "Those thugs".... To me that is uncalled for and should like a racial statement, seeing as house the NFL is like 67% black. Don't get mad at "those thugs" because they pay more in taxes in one year than you will ever make in your entire life time.

[swordofisis]

well, 1st I can say what want! 2nd, Michael Irvin & Michael Vick for starters, and theyre thugs. And lots of other people pay more taxes, Im sure, and i bet they carry their own medical insurance. You can take a thug out of the ghetto but he still wants to get things without paying. There is a difference between "N's" and black people. I wonder which one are you?

[4oldskool]

lol and Tiger Woods, ok im sure your doing everything u can to advance the black community. fuckin white people always labeling everyone else...

[MrRonLafleur]

@4oldskool WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?

[slicingwater]

Whoa showing your true colors. Reality check not all of those players are black you know, Sounds like you've played more football than the whole league combined by what you said.

[Learkins]

Great, don't prevent injuries, just pay off the injured!!! Don't solve the problem, just put a band aid over the wound, how very "American Government" Why doesn't someone make proper headgear? This is why American Government SUCKS!!!! It is always the same solution, band aids, band aids, band aids. Let's let them fix our health care system too, NOT!

[slicingwater]

The problem is that these large players are moving too fast with such force. So when they hit each other its like a 35 mph car crash. Which causes the brain to slam into the skull. It is unavoidable no matter how well the protective gear is.
