nyjunc Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 ah yes back when DL weighed the same as QBs today(and that was when they were all on steroids) and weren't nearly as fast, quick or athletic. if those hits from the old days were legal today we'd see deaths on a weekly basis on the field.

That I don't buy for a second,. they absolutely knew they were putting their bodies on the line. The lawsuits are a money grab, many of those same players will bash today's game for being soft. they knew, they may not have had specific concussion info but they knew the game was destroying their bodies.

There are very few posters I truly loathe. You are one of them. They knew the game was hard on the body. But they had no idea their BRAINS were being slowly destroyed. You know how I know that? Because we didn't either. Very few, if any, knew. And if someone did, they certainly didn't say anything. You are somewhere between a troll and a cretin.

They may not have known the exact extent but they knew it wasn't good for them sort of like smokers before the warnings. it's nothing more than a money grab from players who screwed up the money they made(which obviously wasn't as good as players of this generation). I'm talking 70s/80s/90s players not 30s/40s/50s. If you want to believe them that is up to you, these are the same guys that call the game soft, that a few years ago had a "he got jacked up" segment on espn highlighting big concussion hits so stop it. to think you are constantly hitting your head and nothing will happen is as naïve as it gets.

thshadow Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 They should bring back gladiator fights too. $200k to the winner, $100k to the loser's family.

Good riddance. you may want to read my responses, I said the game needs to evolve and change, I said players today are bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic and that LBs in those days are QB size today. The game evolves and they are trying to make it safer but to pretend like players didn't know they were risking their bodies is absolutely ludicrous.

What is ludicrous is you not being able to distinguish between the body and mind. They had little to no idea the risk playing football posed to their minds. Even neurologists didn't know, most of which are several times smarter than you. Yet you keep referring to the obvious risk to their bodies. Conveniently ducking the topic of the brain, either to avoid contradicting your twisted viewpoint or because you are an imbecile. Likely a little of both...

That the working class doesn’t support - **** the support that America’s workers hound these guys over every penny is a knock on the working class, not something to be proud of.

The Crusher Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I haven't read this thread but I'm guessing people are disagreeing STRONGLY with one another. Rules are still 1. No personal attacks 2. No name calling 3. No other stuff too If we can't follow the rules we can't have this discussion here. I find the subject interesting so I'm hoping we can.
