You do realize that there's a reason why both 50 years and today that most people don't start their day off by running head first into a wall? There's a big difference between being naive and being in denial.
 
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that sticking your hand under the tail end of a rocket is not a good idea. You also don't need to be a neurologist to know that hitting your head on things is not good.
 
Again degenerative disorders as a result of the wear and tear football takes on a body when the professionalism of the sport was relatively new is one thing - I can easily see the naive angle there in regards to joints, cartilidge, etc. But the head thing - denial at best.
 
Likewise, if you do any research, you'll find that serious injuries and deaths were occuring on the football field in the early 1900's - the sport has always been a violent sport and the sport has always had signficant risks associated with playing it. There was 50 years worth of examples of players who suffered severe injuries or even death that existed in the game prior to the 50's to 70's era players that have been chronicled as being naive to the severe risks of the game.
