Default 25 percent of football players will suffer from cognitive issues

It's kind of crazy. I love football but knowing I'm watching potential brain injury patients kind of takes some of the fun out of it.

Trade chronic brain injury at 40-50 years of age for 20 years of living the high life? I don't know. probably not worth it.

I think there will be a significant decrease in the number of kids playing organized football in the future.
