Great comment, Dr. Timms. I especially appreciate your perspective as a physician. (Though I don't think Mr. Will is a pansy!) :)
Now that the long-term effects of the modern game are becoming more evident, people who love football will work to find ways to protect the players so that the sport can be preserved. Isn't necessity the mother of invention?
Imagine this car wreck: a car is rolled several times, hits a brick wall head-on at 200mph, bursts into flames ---and the driver walks away, uninjured. It seems imposible, yet it happens all the time in NASCAR and Indy races.
EVERY occupation has inherent hazards; danger is a part of life for anybody who gets out of bed in the morning. But I think we can do better for football players ---especially the linemen, for whom it seems brain injury is no longer an "if", but an inevitable "when".
