Yeah, football is becoming more and more of a joke. But it still has a long way to go before they're wearing flags on their hips.
They're gladiators. They get money and fame in return for a shorter life. These are the guys that got free college, took classes that you can't fail, then exit not knowing which direction the sun sets or rises. Some believe that the Earth is flat and that mermaids exist or that dinosaurs didn't. Granted they're not all idiots like that, but enough are. Or in other words, what would a lot of these guys be doing if not for football? Flipping burgers? In prison?
Even with changes and alterations to the rules, you're only lowering the concussion cases by a small percentage. You can't make a real dent in it unless you removed tackling. I mean how many times do you see a guy get concussed by the ground, or by his own teammate trying to assist on a tackle? Every game almost. At some point you have to realize that regardless, people are going to get CTE from Football. Changing it from nine out of ten to eight, or even seven out of ten winding up with CTE, doesn't really cut it. That's still hundreds of players a year.
