[QUOTE="Cam, post: 323584, member: 568"] I got the impression that the comment was pointed at the researchers who look into the disease and people who support the research (i.e. the players playing football for our entertainment). If anything they're trying to maintain the longevity of the sport. You need evidence of a problem to invest in a solution and it seems like a lot of people don't want to acknowledge a connection out of fear of it killing their favorite pastime. Football is way too large, lucrative, and ingrained into our culture to be banned. I think the only reason this research is picking up steam now is because a lot of the guys who played in the 50's and 60's are now dying and their brains can go through autopsies, not really because there is a crusade against football.
