However, I am of the opinion that the game, by it’s very nature, will have a negative impact on it’s players bodies, including the brain. To what extent, I don’t know. I do know that concussions aren’t good.

Sure, so what? It’s like telling someone eating at McDonald’s every day is making them fat. This shouldn’t be a surprise.

Aye. However, we don’t encourage the competitive consumption of McDonald’s as an activity for child recreation. We just let our children eat that garbage because… (I hesitate to insert a reason because I don’t want to come off as judgemental. I rarely eat fast food, and when I do it’s usually mexican, but not taco bell.)

My point is that they need to look at other causes and not just assume it’s football. Are they also looking at the brains of people that commit suicide but do not play football? Can some drugs cause this? What was this kid’s history?

I am completely in favor of more brain dissections. There doesn’t even need to be a reason for it. However, if it will help prevent suicides, that’s a pretty good reason in itself.
