Two game bans for everyone to recover from the rough and tumble of it all?

That won't work on the retired guys though! Nice try Goodell!

I love American football, but I don't think it will exist in its current form in 25 years.

I don't think anything special needs to be done. Once more an more of the public is educated about this, less and less parents will let their kids play football.

My kids will be playing only basketball, tennis, or golf.

Watch League of Denial, for many years the NFL treated this much like the tobacco industry and cancer.

The book is also great. It basically convinced me to stop watching the nfl.
