Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 762649, member: 702"] It's harder for me to enjoy something where I know that the guys playing it are doing permanent physical damage to themselves, even if it's voluntary...but that's just me. The most damning evidence in the article was the study of the deceased football players, where they found brain damage in all but two of the brains studied. Now some of that brain damage could be from other sources but likely not all of it. And for those talking about "more safety" as the solution, I don't think that is going solve the problem. We didn't have deaths and massive brain injuries in boxing until safety equipment was introduced. Try punching someone as hard as you can in the head without a glove. It's hard to stop being a fan after a lifetime of being one but if college football disappeared tomorrow I wouldn't be up in arms about it. [/QUOTE]
