It sounds like everything is OK. Cigarette companies new about cancer but hey you gonna inhale shit you burn on a stick then ya gonna get cancer, fuck it.
Lets not forget that the lies the NFL has told us only effects NFL players. Not just college kids either football with tackle is played by children as young as age 5 in some places.
There are also the social implications of using a sport like football to pay for college. Yes your damaging your brain while getting a college education (you would think college football would be no tackle, but there is no $ in that). So, does the scholarship program used for football and with it brain damage disproportionately affect minorities? Either intended or not this really is a big deal. Many areas are starting flag football but its impossible to find in most areas because there has to be enough parents who want their kids to play football and not want the kid to suffer brain damage. Where I am football enrollment is down pre-middle school age but those same parents aren't opting for flag football as an alternative.
