[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 311180, member: 2175"] It's never going to happen to us. The phenomenon is not unique to football. It is not unlike that of voters who might say they want social programs limited or eliminated, though they themselves benefit from them. It's not that they want to give up their bennies, it is they think they can create a rainstorm without getting wet. Some former players who think they would play even if they surrendered 10 or 15 years of their life seem to think that is the worst that can happen to them. There are things worse than death. I played, enjoyed it, and with trepidation would play again. I did not allow my sons to play until high school. They will not allow their sons to play at all. But it is a conversation worth having, and those who dismiss critics as weenies are not adding anything to the narrative. (This thread, by the way, is another evergreen. It will stay with us.)
