Head Injuries/Early Retires In The NFL

[King Colt]

Football will be here for a long time but with huge salaries and bonuses I think we will see more and more young players getting out very soon after their bank account say so. Either the rules and equipment change or we will see the impact. Junior leagues are dissolving and high school players are not playing like before in numbers. Add to the fact that if more and more proof of the destruction of the brain surfaces the well will run dry so to speak. "A way out of poverty" is a lame reason for playing because any sharp lawyer can turn that in to a discrimination issue against the poor and there are already class action suits pending.

      The fly in the soup is all other sports ignore safety like baseball line drives firing in to the stands, basketball p[layers running into fans sitting close by, hockey pucks ricocheting in to the stands, soccer head hits and now martial arts players kicking each other in the head with no protection on the foot or head. If you argue with my points here don't lose sight of the fact that lawyers rule the world and today suing someone is easier than walking your dog. .

I think most prospective players will still be allured by the large salaries.  As long as they're getting paid big money, I don't think they will shy away from football.
