You don’t think. One way or the other, there’s no legitimate quantification of the extent that CTE occurs on any level. But it’s more serious than you believe, IMO. I understand you love the sport, and appreciate the life lessons it teaches, so I respect that....but it’s a problem.

It's not just life lessons. I have witnessed many a young man come out of their shells due to the confidence that playing football has given them.

Gonna let him play soccer?

I’ve heard the header part of it is causing problems as well. Don’t know though.

I’ve said why I stopped and I stopped watching Long before Trump opined about it.
Tougher decision for me, but not for my wife. She’s already declared it outlawed.

Golf, I guess. My second love. Baseball is a pretty deep sport, I’m just learning it now though.

I think some of it has to do with how much entertainment we now have available at our finger tips. Attendance in movies is down this year, studios are taking a beating on big blockbuster movies.
Maybe if they’d stop making horrible reboots of quality films then that wouldn’t happen. Also, enough with the fvcking comic book movies, Christ on a crutch. Those are unwatchable.

I don’t doubt it, and as I said, I respect that....but there are other ways to help young men develop self confidence and a sense of team and discipline.

That and the archaic theater experience is on its way out. I think the last movie I saw in a theater was Silver Linings Playbook?

**** man, you need to come to our movie theater, nice reclining seats, food on demand (good food), beer, pick your seats. It’s way better than it used to be.

It was very good. Funny character, true story, great ending, Cruise was pretty good

The half truth is a minority of stadiums looked like your pics and most were at capacity. Geesh. And for the moment I thought that even dumber people are posting in your support. Now, I don't know who is dumber. But you all support this lying president and a disgrace of a party so no one is surprised at all.

What's more disgraceful WVUBRU? A National political party with a co chair who says White people are Devils and Jews are Pigs or a National political party that says people who politicize the deaths of our fallen Soldiers are disgraceful?

Hurry up and not answer.

I watched Cocaine Cowboys and a lot of documentaries on the Medellin cartel as well as El Padrino himself where it talked about Barry a little bit.

On top of it, they let you join rewards programs at most theatres....which translates into free concessions
I am thinking about joining up after football season. Until January date night with wifey = 13 hours of football every saturday.
