This could explain a lot about his behavior issues. Kid didn't even have a string of concussions. |
Re: Chris Henry found to have had brain damage.
I heard about that this morning. You normally wouldn't think that a WR would end up with brain damage to the point that he did. Most of the time this kind of thing is associated with guys on the Line. It just goes to prove that the violence which is an inherent part of the game can do a lot of damage even when there were no tell tale signs of brain injury while the player was active.

I posted a link to the Malcolm Gladwell story and Time magazine piece a few months ago. If Henry has brain damage as wr then imagine offensive linemen.

Of course he did, he was a football player.
I'd be more shocked if he didn't have brain damage. And people want to tell me that the NFL should not look into protecting players. At least allow them to live to the ripe age of 60. |

-Rule changes that de-emphasize hitting, and take into consideration head to head contact... Though this would obviously be a very dramatic change that I just don't see happening... At least with any real force. -Reduce the number of games including preseason, add another bye week, limit hitting in practice... Anything to reduce exposure and allow healing. -Mandatory Mark Kelso type helmets: |

Also maybe have weight limits on players???
I don't know what they are saying are the main contributors to this problem... But some of the linemen in today's game, when compared to years past, are just absurd. |
