OT Gronk shares disturbing detail about "liquid in his head"

[Dr Pain]

I’m not quite sure the NFL has the authority to ban someone from the game for speaking out against CTE.

His CBD connection.

If you played while you were 8, you knew this was a dangerous sport. You knew this because your dad (if you still had one and he didn’t go on an 18 year gas station trip for a pack of Marlboros) and/or coaches told you to tackle with your head up and lead with your shoulder. They told you that because there were inherent risks for head and neck trauma if you didn’t. So this canard that you all are trying to create that football is more dangerous because of a higher availability of data on CTE and the impact of concussion doesn’t hold water. Unless you’re ******ed, you’re aware from the point that you first start playing the sport that it’s dangerous. These men know and accept that risk and are compensated well for it. If they don’t want to accept that risk, they’re free to retire. And some have.

I played peewee in the 80's and we didn't know which head injuries were concussions and which were not and we thought the concussions would heal fully. Seems pretty obvious, but you're too busy calling people "******s" to think apparently.

Yes or no - did you grasp the fact that football was dangerous when you were playing it?
