The real story is that The NFL teams knew about the Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) lawsuits and now there are a lot of culpable companies that will have an easy excuse to clean out the business and file bankruptcy. Do you think the news that they recently figured out how to scan for CTE on LIVING players had anything to do with this shit show? There are pending lawsuits that are worth potentially hundreds of millions of dollars already. Imagine what is going to happen when active player quit to preserve health, then sue for damages. This will result in a bottleneck of business ending briefs. The NFL is not stupid. I am sure the puppeteers are pulling strings to burn this incarnate down, and replace it with a safer, more patriotic (not because of patriotism, but from necessity) and since patriotism is currently a more profitable model. I say this since people will burn all their shit and replace it with emblematic replacements. It appears to me that they know what they are doing. I suffer from Traumatic Brain Injury and it definitely changed my life for mostly the worse. At some point, years ago, these people and the Government knew about this and failed to allow us to protect ourselves adequately. Are US schools going to be financially responsible when KIDS show CTE positive scans from participation?
You're definitely asking some great questions, my man. And raising some great points. I hadn't heard about a way to study CTE in the living yet, but here's an article for anyone looking for more info on that

Thanks man. I am always leery to post links over copy-write issues and plagiarism.
I usually share links to provide 'credit' to the 'source' material for anything I may say that I may have seen or read in another place. For one it helps your article out; as it doesn't look like you're just talking out the blue. Citing sources never hurts, in my opinion - Great topic that you're covering though; People are making a fuss of the kneeling; but what's really hurting NFL Viewship is this CTE issue; The conversation around Football has been Morphing into a Safety Issue; a questionable profession for 'long term Quality of life' .......... because banging your head into others at high velocities just isn't a 'good idea' really .... there are other sports; other competitions; I love football but, damn ... it may not be a sport for everyone, going forward -
Well said.
I can totally understand that. I try to make sure I keep my AP Style on lol. If they think I'm a pro, maybe they'll think twice.
Thanks for your work as well! Followed @tom74
