[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 985875, member: 944"] I have become jaded...I find myself highly suspicious of so much research if it has any hint of politics or money associated with it. I have no idea what to believe about CTE and whether it is a causal or result of issue. But it does seem to be common sense that a violent game will have long term health effects, even if it just on joints. Maybe of the brain as well. It currently is a choice. People can choose to play, or not. The payoff for success far exceeds the payoffs you can get from becoming a plumber or even getting a basic GT degree. At least over the first decade of your earnings. I support continued efforts to devise safer equipment. I also support freedom of choice for young people to pursue whatever they wish to pursue. In Europe, young teens can sign professional football (soccer) contracts and go full-time (most do between ages 16 and 18). abandoning any further scholastic education. All for the promise of riches and fame that sport can bring. If they fail, they are ill-prepared for most other careers. It is still freedom to choose. [/QUOTE]
