Harrison skips practice while mulling retirement

[celtsxpatsxsox]

Saw this on a youtube comment and agree completely with it...

Yeah they know the risk but that isn't stopping the government from getting involved or stopping players and their families from suing or demanding more benefits once they are retired.

I love how the NFL completely is disinterested in other injuries outside of "helmet to helmet" hits. I know they are less severe, but you see guys tearing ACL's, etc. all the time. Yet nothing is really done about those. They let guys play without knee pads, thigh pads, etc. If they are going to do the safety shit, shouldn't they make it full circle?

Great post. I often wonder this as well. Every time I see a runningback being taken down by someone lunging at their knee I cringe, because that type of hit could end a players career. However, with the head injuries its pretty obvious it being lead by the medical community as they continue to investigate former football players' medical issues and that scares the NFL.

I've heard on ESPN radio that next year or the year after all players will be required to wear hip, knee, and thigh pads.

Yeah, I hate when the league rushes legislation into practice in the middle of the season. It makes much more sense to hold the proposed rule changes til the offseason, especially when they deal with player safety.

Oh, wait ...

There are very few times in the history of internet message boards when their is a clear cut worst poster. Usually there is a minimum of 2-3 retards who manage to out do each other, but not here. We've got you, with every post you prove how bad you are, never once slipping in a good on here or there like previous terrible posters do. Its amazing you can keep up this performance day in and day out.
