Re: Truth Doesn't Have a Side

Re: Truth Doesn't Have a Side

We don’t always have to be told the risks of an activity could prove detrimental. I’m fairly confident that if I continually hit myself in my head with a hammer it’s probably not good long term. Be as safe and responsible as a person can be and accept the risks of decisions. Tell that to the lady w...

Re: Truth Doesn't Have a Side

Thanks for the compliment, I also know you mean well by trying to post on the importance of CTE. However, I have to say a fake punt from the goalline is crazy but have to admit one that no one would expect. LOL. Good luck with your cause I truly do hope a difference can be made speaking as a parent...

Re: Truth Doesn't Have a Side

Wow i have a lot to say on this subject. First of all yes there are going to be more lawsuits and football is going to lose a lot of them. But if people in football is smart they can make changes today that will eliminate them from ever losing another one on the next group of kids. Every single one...

Re: Truth Doesn't Have a Side

Worked in practice?? It worked over the course of a season and I don't see any relevance to them being Catholics, unless you have an issue with Catholics or something.
