Quote:With all of us talking about how the game is getting more and more "sissy-fied", I thought this story was appropriate. I don't know if his prior concussion was the reason for the player's death, but as a football coach in the area of this event, I know that this story gave me pause.

The issue is not with the sport being sissy-fied but rather the players willingness to take the risk in exchange for millions of dollars then turning around and suing the NFL.  Just look at the Junior Seau saga -- blaming football  --- then having thier kids play the sport.   The sport has its risks, as does lacrosse, soccer, and walking across the street.  Every day, about a million kids put on their pads and play football......
