I really don't understand why the NHL isn't more popular.

People giving this guy shit are the same people who would be saying, "he knew the risks and made millions" if he ended his career with a long lasting brain/body damage.
Good for him.
Good for him.
Because it hasn't been on a major national broadcast in over a decade now. Bettman is a fucking idiot.
He took hockey off the most popular sports network on the planet and took teams out of some of the most supporting cities.
Me too. The KHL is falling apart too!

Who are the 3?
Problem with CTE and football is that no matter what type of helmet the players wear, your brain will still bounce around your skull after a big impact. You'd have to inject shit into the skull to soften that and um, yea. Good luck with that
It's shitty because the sport is really intense and fun to watch, but it's just inherently dangerous as shit. Plus joint damage and fractures, etc.
How is Jed's BFF being GM any different? He already has a yes man.

NOT ENOUGH CONTROL
I take back my previous post. DOTA2 will be the new national pastime.
Sometimes its hard to make a big change in trajectory when you already invested so much time in playing. I mean its bad enough a lot of us still watch and support football despite knowing the risks, but to a player that is trying to make a livelihood out of this? Real difficult. There is also the "that won't happen to me" mindset, especially since CTE is something that builds over time.
Juniors making stupid posts? Shocking.
It kills me knowing that this sport that I love so much will be a shell of its former self in 10 years.
There will always be people who will trade their long term health for the experiences and money, but there will be fewer and fewer. Not to mention fewer and fewer parents who let their kids play football.
That being said, I respect these early retirees a lot. That's a tough decision to make.

Willis,Smith and Boreland. Just odd 3 from the same team retiring all at once.

The score of an actual NBA game in the third quarter tonight
I was in Charlotte Friday night, watching my first game in person since the re-franchising. It was fun enough and they managed to come back and beat the Bulls, but I couldn't shake the feeling that under all the fancy new presentation, the teal and purple veneer was just a facade.
I remember watching the actual Hornets in the old Charlotte Coliseum when I was a wee lad. That was a basketball team.
These guys wearing the jerseys now? They're the same old JeffreyCats.

Ya'll know this is the beginning of the end, right? Free fall NFL about to be so fun.

When you're feeling down, remember this: "At least I have a team!!"
If you start playing football in HS, like Borland did, it's new, so it's easy so to see why he wanted to play college ball. Guess once he had 6-7 years of football in him he had enough. Guy is done with the sport entirely, doubt he'd want to coach a sport that can turn you into a vegetable.

I'm sure a part of it is these players seeing the writing on the wall with the Niners.
Being at peace with dementia is one thing but risking it toiling away on a declining team?

wouldn't players from the raiders, browns, bills, etc. retire all the time if it was an issue with the quality of the team?
p.s.
i honestly expect bowman to retire this offseason at some point. i dont think he'll ever play football again
How old are you? I'm 26 :3
One thing that struck me as strange in the MLS thread is how star football players not getting harassed in the US when they come over for retirement is a plus. Sure it's a plus, but they're not harassed because no one knows who the fuck they are. Lets see Lebron walk down the street without getting everyone rushing his way.
Until we start producing home grown talent, which may be about a generation away, then what's the point of bringing up soccer/football. I love watching the world cup, I like watching when the best talent in the world is on display. MLS....get the fuck out of here.

Plus if the MLS does get as huge as people hope, those guys will no longer be able to go out in public unnoticed. It's nice for the guys playing right now, but it's not something you can point to as a long-term perk of the league.
