Galaxy, You don't understand the football issue. It is the cumulative sub-concussive impacts that does the worst damage. It is a slow developing damage. It does not manifest immediately like a concussion. But, those sub-concussive impacts are maybe once or twice per play with time between plays. The bumpy road is a continuous series of sub-concussive impacts with no break in between. It can be much worse than a game's or practice's accumulation of subconcussive impacts.

btw, The NFL only paid out $700 million in their settlement. The NCAA is only paying $70 million with only a portion going to the injured players.
