I don't think its flawed though I agree with your sentiment. I think the point is why is anyone surprised this is the outcome of playing that sport?

- Clubber 9y agoIt wasn't known that concussions caused plaques to build up in your brain that causes permanent degenerative brain damage until fairly recently. When I was playing years ago, it was called, "getting your bell rung." It was a temporary problem like getting a muscle cramp or something.
- notyourwork 9y agoI don't think it takes a medical diagnosis to use common sense and think if I hit my brain a bunch there will be lasting impressions. (Boxing, soccer, football to name a few.)
- Clubber 9y agoWhy would you think that? What evidence did you have before this? I think you are relying on hindsight a little too much.
- notyourwork 9y agoBoxing head injuries have been well documented as have head injuries from brain trauma in soccer players. Its not a far stretch to extrapolate that and wonder if football might have similar problems with my head.
- Clubber 9y agoWell, since you knew something no one else did until recently, you probably should have said something. Think of all the people you could have saved. :)
- notyourwork 9y agoThis has been known in boxing for longer than I've been alive. I don't think the sarcasm validates your argument either.
- Clubber 9y agoAnd what's the difference between a professional boxer and a football player? I'll give you a clue, it has something to do with head protection. I call BS on your clairvoyance.
