Think Junior Sea or Mike Webster or a ton of men we don't know about (91% of brain scans on ex NFL football players showed signs of CTE). Your time in the NFL always ends, I hope Chavarius ends his career now, before he does anymore damage to his brain.

I would hope that everybody (myself included) were more adult than to support a sport that is so incredibly viscous, violent, and destructive such as tackle football. As you said, 91% of NFL football players showed signs of CTE ...... yet here we are, posting on a Colts fan website, supporting this viscous, savage, inhumane public spectacle in which our fellow human beings' brains are being turned into mush. So while you are advocating that "enough is enough" at some point, I would argue that all of us (myself included) are selfish, Roman Coliseum-like sadists who continue to cheer on these fools as they destroy their brains and their bodies.

As Racehorse pointed out, the football team owners are full of shit when they claimed that they were "following the science" when they added a 17th regular-season game and subtracted a pre-season game prior to the 2021 season ...... if they were following the science, they would be playing flag football instead of tackle football.
