IMO, it is taking longer than I though it would to get rid of football.

33. I do not believe this is true...

Kam will retire from football with very little CTE. (His victims will not be so lucky.)

The impact to his brain in some of the collisions he instigates are not limited to the person being hit...the hitter takes as big of a jolt - for every ACTION, there is an equal and opposite REACTION - as the hittee.

The only ways to improve any of the safety of football is to eliminate the 3-point stance on the lines (make all players on the line start from a 2 point or standing stance to avoid the launch points and multiple sub-concussive impacts those players endure) AND make ANY impact to a player when leaving your feet an illegal play, with the exception of diving at a players legs to trip them up or tackle them around the ankles.

Diving head first into or over "the pile"? Gone...
Launching yourself at a player like a missile? Gone...
Running Backs launching into defenders is supposed to be illegal, but very rarely is it called that way...

Tackle Football is a different sport than the Impact Football that is currently played. Helmets give a false sense of security because they allow players to do things that would otherwise crack their skulls without fear of that outcome. I am utterly amazed that no one in an NFL game has died on the field yet due to a broken neck.

Bread and Circuses...as old as the Coliseum and just as brutal today as it was in hand-to-hand combat.

The other worrisome thing about that CTE study? The increasing % of the afflicted based on time in the game...NFL players nearly universal, college players with a staggering majority, down to starting to see it in high school players...eliminating youth football is not the answer...eliminating "Impact Football" is the only path forward long term.
