Game Brain
Let’s say you run a multibillion-dollar football league. And let’s say the scientific community—starting with one young pathologist in Pittsburgh and growing into a chorus of neuroscientists across the country—comes to you and says concussions are making your players crazy, crazy enough to kill themselves, and here, in these slices of brain tissue, is the proof. Do you join these scientists and try to solve the problem, or do you use your power to discredit them?

3. That is a Great Piece of Work by the Pathologist

Whatever they do, the equipment in the NFL has got to be the most effective, cutting-edge stuff to prevent things like from happening. If that's even possible.

Just cross-posted on an NFL message board. So far lots of views, but complete silence.

5. I can't bear to watch football knowing that I'm watching men really hurting each other.
