[QUOTE="Cam, post: 323650, member: 568"] I'm confused. What excuse? The players that didn't know they were going to develop those symptoms? I would wager that before 2005 people knew that playing football would cause broken bones, ligament tears, concussions, etc. Short term injuries mostly with kind of a vague idea of what lasting effects might be there. I think it's the current research that's just saying, "There's a calculated small possibility you will have headaches and dizziness in 10 years, memory loss 10 years from then, and dementia, tremors, suicidal thoughts 10-20 years from then." There's no harm in just laying out what can possibly happen based on what we're observing in the older players. You're just protecting the players by giving them a choice. If they know this information and still opt to play, then everything is how it should be. Makes no sense to ignore the information. [/QUOTE]
