Dance Monkey Dance

The NFL wants players to tattle on each other about concussions. Note that the players aren't whining about it; the article clearly shows that they accept it as a part of a very physical game. It's lawyers and politicians doing the whining -- as usual.

So, while it is unfortunate that some players will indeed suffer permanent brain damage from playing in the NFL, let's keep this in perspective: they're getting paid a great deal of money to play a game. Millions of soldiers and policemen take much greater risks every day, and for a helluva lot less pay. Any player who is worried enough about it should quit the game and go find something productive to do for a living. I'm sure there are plenty of volunteers to fill his shoes.

And Congress needs to STFU about it. They also need to find something productive to do for a living.
