I don’t think people will look at football differently. I have seen 2 basketball players die on the court, and heard about the Price brothers (Mark and Brent-ex NBA players) father collapsing after a pick-up game, and Pete Maravich.
A soccer player recently had cardiac arrest on the field (last year?). I remember the Detroit Lions player that got paralyzed on the field. These sports go on, and these instances are soon out of sight/out of mind.
I mean, the UFC has 2 barely protected people in the ring looking to concuss their opponent. It’s not going anywhere soon.
These gentlemen (and ladies) know the potential consequences, and choose to participate. While it may not he in their best interest, physically and mentally, it is their right to make that decision.
