NFL finally admits links between football, CTE

They really had to at some point, it's kind of stating the obvious now.

First step to overcoming a problem is admitting you have one. American Football needs to be at the forefront of research,development & safety from here on out. (In many respects they already are)

I'd confidently say my 2nd favourite sport of Rugby Union has a CTE issue of its own, buried in history. There have been plenty of signs & indicators that it exists there & players from the past suffer similarly. They have already taken some measures, but hopefully in the future they join the efforts against CTE more intensely for the benefit & future of both sports & their participants.

They must have had a team of lawyers working on this for a while.

According to MMQB Bruce Arians says he's sick and tired of people bashing football. Said peope telling their kids they don't want them playing football are fools. Yeah it's really his prerogative to tell parents what to do with their own kids. He's a damn fool.

Smashing your head into another player over and over again causes brain damage?

I'm shocked.
