In ten years, you will care more about Sporting KC than you will the Chiefs. Football is dying. Futbol is growing.
At least Kansas City is ahead of the curve for once in its life. |

While this is easy enough to dismiss as non-news, I'm afraid it has much significance in how this sport will be played in the future--across all levels of competition.

And players aren't going to want to not make millions of $$ so I doubt they are going to stop playing football. I don't see it. |

So, my question is...what about average joes..that work in other intense fields? Has anybody ever analyzed their brains postmortem to see if they have any signs of CTE?

In 2012, Patrick Grange a semi-pro soccer player, was diagnosed in an autopsy with Stage 2 CTE with motor neuron disease. "The fact that Patrick Grange was a prolific header is important," Christopher Nowinski, co-founder of the Sports Legacy Institute, said in an e-mail. "We need a larger discussion around at what age we introduce headers, and how we set limits to exposure once it is introduced."[61] Grange played soccer at high school; college at Illinois-Chicago and New Mexico; in the Premier Development League; for Albuquerque Asylum and Chicago Fire Premier. He died of ALS at age 29 in 2012 with a posthumous diagnosis of CTE.[62]

I doubt there are many players, aside from kickers, who don't have some kind of head trauma. It's just a part of the game.
Not saying that should draw awareness away from this serious medical issue, but it doesn't excuse Belcher going crazy. Who knows if he would have done it anyway if he wasn't an NFL player and thought his girlfriend was cheating? |

Give it a ****ing rest already. I'd rather watch a ****ing TV test pattern for 3 hours than a soccer game.
