From what I have seen on the Beavs football on Instagram, it may very well be a orange out? Not sure, the insta page said that fans should wear orange. And the Beavs are breaking in....*dramatic drumroll* the fan favorite orange helmets!! I'm a actually pretty surprised to see the Beavs break in the orange helmets in the second game of the season, usually orange helmets are worn for big time games. Makes ya wonder if we are hardly gunna wear black helmets again this year 🤔

Football really was never meant to be played before Labor Day.

Some injury riddled games I feel "guilty" cheering on the 'indentured gladiators".

True, though I have heard football called the spartan sport before aswell as the gladiator sport lol

As a father of two sons, it is hard to watch this sport, hoping that my son never wants to play. I have already given up on the NFL for the most part. One of these days, I am going to give up on NCAA football, too, probably the next time the soccer team goes on a hot streak..........

I dunno, wilky. Those soccer players are pretty susceptible to CTE as well. Better off watching golf.

The concussion rates for football are approximately 28.6 times higher than men's soccer. (Woman's soccer has 71.88% more concussions for reasons that are debated.) When football proponents bring up soccer, they typically cite total numbers. The problem is that far more men and women play soccer than football, so it is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

Not saying it's not a real issue, but what a skewed statistic. (Someone mentioned your proclivity to doing this!) How many times does an old guy that played football say, "Gee. I feel great even at 80. I remember everything, still read, do crosswords, communicate well, and feel great. I think after I die you should donate my brain to science to see if I have CTE"? Never. The one in the study that was normal probably ruined the inheritors day when they found out they were out of the NFL class action lawsuit. It's a shame how cynical I've gotten. I'm a reasonable guy, but this f#77ing losing is making me absolutely crazy.

This is not in any way, me proclaiming football is safe... but the CTE brain examinations are text book example of selection bias. the brains examined, are brains that have a reason to be examined. One can easily make the case that evidence supports the notion that among NFL players that experienced a premature death, CTE was present in the brain. But that does not speak to a prevalence of CTE or a risk of CTE. only that in the world, risk does exist. The game needs to change, but remember, for every Junior Seau we have a Jerry Rice.

When football proponents bring up soccer, they typically cite total numbers. The problem is that far more men and women play soccer than football, so it is an apples-to-oranges comparison. Thing is, it would be nice if they did an absolutely random testing on this. The little I've read mentioned one family had volunteered a sample after their 80 year old father had been bedridden with dementia. If these were all voluntary tests based on a doctor stating "I'd like to test brains for CTE", guess who's likely to submit permission... the one's who might be suspicious that their family (or themselves) had it. They'd need to literally assign a randomly drawn group of NFL players for future testing at or shortly after retirement and then test brains as they pass, compared to a random non-football population to come to an accurate conclusion. The cool thing is, they are finally starting to get some modern imaging equipment that very may well help get a more accurate picture: directorsblog.nih.gov/2015/04/21/brain-imaging-tackling-chronic-traumatic-encephalopathy/

I'd guess Jerry Rice has CTE as well. Just isn't manifesting itself like it does in some others. I would guess that pre-existing psycholigical traits also play a role in how CTE presents itself.
That's the opinion of a guy who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so take it for what it's worth.

The last time I stayed in one there was a plethora of dumb arses. ABSOLUTELY no reflection on nabeav! 😉

That's the opinion of a guy who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so take it for what it's worth. Of personal interest to me (I did get a degree in epidemiology after all) NIOSH ran a longitudinal cohort study at the request of the NFL in the 1990s. This was to combat a pervasive urban myth that NFL players only lived to 50 years old. The study followed 3,439 retired NFL players that played between 1959 and 1988 and played for at least 5 seasons. First big point the study found is that NFL players had a significantly reduced standard mortality ratio, meaning their risk of death was 46% lower than the general population. Life expectancy was pegged at around 77.5 years of age, above that of the US male life expectancy, and in line with the general population's combined life expectancy. NFL players also had a reduced risk of cancer compared to the general population. position groups had interesting difference, players on the offensive or defensive line were 3.7 times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease. For nervous disorders looked at at the time (this was 1994 after all) they found a 4x increase in ALS, a 4x increase in Alzheimer's disease, and a slight increase (1.5ish) in Parkinson's. Fascinating study that needs to continue. You have to run these large cohort studies to get any kind of actual findings on the health burden of NFL players.
