Real Sports' Look at the NFL and Concussions

[MTK]

I just saw this the other night, I was disgusted with the NFL Dr. that flat out denied the possibility of concussions having a long-term effect on players. It seems like a serious issue has been unearthed here and the NFL really needs to take a serious look at this.

I've heard the analogy that playing in the NFL is like being in a weekly car crash. How the NFL can sit there and say there is NO possible connection between serious head injuries and long-term damage is completely beyond me. It doesn't take a genius to think that if you get hit in the mellon enough times it could do some serious damage.

The NFL needs to wake the hell up and take some responsibility on this.

Sounds good but I don't see them letting some horror stories get in the way of their current dominance in collecting the pro-sports dollar.
