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.

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...

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.
