Now when did the NFL warn of this.... HMMMM 1997. So want to keep saying these players didnt know? More likely they DIDNT Care. March 1997 NEW RETURN-TO-PLAY GUIDELINES The guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology say that repetitive concussions can cause brain damage, and suggest that players be removed from the game if they lose consciousness or exhibit any concussion symptoms 15 minutes post-injury. “Repeated concussions can cause cumulative brain injury in an individual over months or years,” the report warns. They are, if they want to say thy didnt know and play for free thy are Idiots. Also in 2002 was when CTE was mentioned. McClain started playing in the NFL in 2007.

I care it is sad he struggles (there does that make them feel better) BUT it was his choice, no reason to cry for more. I care MORE about that HS player that has issues and GETS NADA I care MORE about that College player that ISN'T compensated and his body and head used up. This is about McClain and his 11M he made and all the nice benefits that he still makes.

And a CHOICE that Compensated them at a Higher level than any other person could think about being compensated at. So yep DONT Care, they could have walked away like Luck, Willis, Sanders etc etc etc. Would I have booed them and hammered them.... NOPE. Why Because it was THEIR CHOICE. Just like it is their choice to KEEP playing

June 2007 - The NFL holds a medical conference on concussions. August 14, 2007 - The NFL formalizes new concussion guidelines which include a telephone hotline to report when a player is being forced to play contrary to medical advice. Now tell me how McClain (started in the NFL in 2007) was deceived? Cool I got a head shot in Buffalo watching a game. Guess the NFL owes me as a Fan a settelment

Cool here is a RECENT one.. LET me HIGHLIGHT the KEY Study: Concussions Aren't the Link to CTE New research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) concludes that it's not concussions that cause the condition, but repeated traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)—the kind experienced by more people than just those involved in contact sports. Authors of the study also call for more clarity when it comes to concussion—which they describe as a syndrome—versus TBI, a tissue-damaging event that can happen with or without concussion.

Just pointing it out there, ONE Voluntary Career vs ANOTHER. All these football players Saying I didnt know I was going to be in pain for life, I didnt know I would have long term effects from the sport are JUST as disingenuous as the Veterans that say I didn't Know I would have to fight a War Maybe until recently they should BLAME their Union?
