Besides these are adults, if they want to work in a high risk enviornment then that's their choice.   They are well compensated for that risk.  

I know it's legitimate to try and shield these guys from head problems but for almost all of them, the risk is worth the rewards.    They basically have ran a few guys out of the league because of this protocol.   That's crazy, especially if the guy wants to work.    

This goes back to the whether you are ok with someone making their own decisions or do you want to make them instead.

I agree people should be allowed to make their own decisions, but you are ignoring the fact that the NFL intentionally buried the information required for players to make the most informed decision.  That is my issue.

I'm very ok with people making their own decisions in regards to employment.  I'm not ok with employers lying about the danger of a position and then acting surprised when the dangers become known to the general public.  In today's NFL we now see many players playing football knowing the risks, but we are now seeing some players walking away from the game and making what they feel are informed decisions about the pros and cons of continuing onward.
