Don't let it get to you. They have no idea of what it is like. I could have never imagined before it happened.

Lets concentrate on ourselves and helping each other. These guys may learn the hard way the price they will have to pay

Certain trials and treatments look promising for the future but i wouldn't take hundreds of hits to the head banking on it.

I know, but its people like them, that are the reason for such poor care for us.

I'd trade my legs to be rid of PCS.

90% of all knees are the same.. function the same and can be repaired the same... not one brain is like the next... I would much rather replace a knee than deal with this! My recovery for each of my new shoulders was better than this!

I played football from 2nd grade to 7th grade and this makes me mad too however I think it's because I have a concussion and know what it feels like, If I started playing again I would never aim for the head because I would never want to be the cause of a concussion....

I don't think there is ANY way to make football OR boxing safe enough to avoid future problems.

I boxed and every head punch hurt, with head gear and big gloves.

Stop the fight after too much of a beating? I've seen guys get killed for nine rounds and win with a one punch knockout. They deserve that opportunity until they can't punch back.


Football? They are taking steps to avoid the IMMEDIATE bad-press injuries.

But long term? These are guys who weigh from 180 to 370 pounds. They are freakishly strong and they hit each other as hard as they can for business.

The skull doesn't get stronger with weight lifting.
