Man, so sad to read that. I think this happens too much in the NFL. 

 

If you've not seen it, a documentary called "League of Denial" is absolutely excellent. I believe you can find it on netflix. A movie based on the doctor central to the documentary is coming out with Will Smith.

 

Amazing what these men really do to their bodies and how violent of a sport it really is. While we pass judgement on players for being soft or scared, they are literally shortening their lives to play a sport they, and we, love. Yes, it's their their decision, but it doesn't make it any less sad when you read pieces like this one. 

Quote:No it doesn't. Allen Hurns is like any other player who plays through pain. Eben Britton had a totally different problem.
WOW you are so naive 
There will always be players trying to gain an edge on their opponent. It happens everyday.

 

If a substance gets banned, players will resort to another substance. Its the facts of life. Its a dog eat dog world.
