New Yorker Article On Kyle Turley...Scary Stuff...

[Rain Man]

I thought it was an interesting article. The dogfighting comparison was a bit forced, but there were enough parallels that I didn't think it was completely superfluous. I think the dogfighting was intended to describe the industry and owners as much as the players, or maybe more.

It's scary to think about the possibility of this type of long-term brain damage if you're a former player at any level. For that matter, I think about a concussion I had in a car wreck many years ago when I read about stuff like this.
