The article is interesting. I worry that by watching football I'm participating in something bad for the athletes (even though they want to do it of course, for money). I guess it's true for all pro athletes, it is bad for them physically in the end.

They're also playing football for a living and not attending their 4 HIPAA and document retention guidelines training in 18 months.
Football has evolved into something much more insidious. Physical breakdown is something to be expected at the highest level of sports, but concussions that end in dementia and suicide is something else altogether.
