on top of that, most of the players go broke and are unemployable and nursing football injuries a few years after they leave the league |

These football players aren’t feeling bad about the paunch and balding and heart conditions brought on by law, why should I feel bad about them?

It's a contact sport but it's a facsimile for war basically. CTE is nothing compared to getting your head blown off. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770718&forum_id=2Ã#49243685) |

Date: September 7th, 2025 6:35 PM I remember an XO theory where if a football player started as smart, he'd end his career as average, if he started as average he'd end his career as dumb, but if he started his career already dumb he'd be a total retard by the end of it. Probably something to that LJL (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770718&forum_id=2Ã#49243690) |

NFL if they really gave a shit should set up a trust/conservator network or some type of shit to stop this. problem is as soon as these guys go pro they have every person they ever knew hitting them up in addition to buying retarded shit for themselves. just do give a 21 year old black kid from mississippi an $800K salary with no guidance and expect him to invest it prudently.

Date: September 7th, 2025 7:43 PM The superstars are generally fine, but the average NFL career is around three years and the money goes to a literally retarded early 20-something year old man. They then wash out of the league and have no non-football skills. To the extent they have a degree, it's a fake "athlete" degree. Most will briefly have wealth, then be just another wagecuck. It's completely standard for a restaurant to have a line cook who was an NFL receiver for two seasons. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770718&forum_id=2Ã#49243829) |

nobody's feeling sorry for them. they're just stating the reality that, while they have wealth, they squander it.
you must be really stupid or ur trolling |

Date: September 7th, 2025 8:05 PM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" average length of an NFL career is barely over three years, and the median pay is around $1M/year. the superstars have the top 0.0001% lives, but the average player needs to manage that ~$3M (pre-tax) very carefully in order for it to last a lifetime.

Date: September 7th, 2025 8:58 PM Author: Emperor CRISPR Chad von Neumann III Upon retirement from football every single one of them should immediately go into luxury car sales in their team’s city or their hometown, whichever is better. Every Mercedes dealership in every major metro ought to have at least one of these guys on the floor every minute that they’re open.
If they make it up the next rung of fame and are lucky enough to have a brain, they should go into financial advising a-la Tony Parker |

Date: September 8th, 2025 6:46 AM You are seriously overestimating the clout of the average NFL retiree. Nobody gives a shit about a guy who washed out in three years, "oh this guy used to be on special teams for the local NFL team" means nothing. And the guys themselves are literally retarded, they have no real skills either. Their future involves being a line cook at a Chili's.

Date: September 8th, 2025 12:18 AM Author: bloomington (🦬) I like football but all the CTE stuff has turned into a bit of a buzzkill for me.
My family has Packers season tickets and I can envision myself perhaps turning them in at some point down the road. It's spendy entertainment and the in-person experience isn't dramatically better than watching it on TV.
I'm going to the game against Washington this Thursday and I'm looking forward to it a lot more now that we beat the Lions so handily |

Date: September 8th, 2025 12:29 AM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, CTE is a little like global warming in that we have been promised this big imminent doom, but it hasn't really happened.
Seems to have died down a ton in the past decade. |

Date: September 8th, 2025 12:37 AM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; It’s nowhere near as brutal as eg boxing and I love watching boxing it’s awesome. CTE panic of the mid 2010s was also considerably overblown by the researchers at BU who obviously saw a meal ticket in their research.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39417850/how-fears-cte-football-exceeded-scientific-certainty
The other factor that is drastically underappreciated is how not only normal but encouraged/coached/celebrated it was in 70s-90s football to have dudes lead with their head, target other players’ heads and play concussed. We seem to be in a similar place with CTE and football as we are with cigarettes ie everyone recalibrated to a level of risk that corresponded to a social norm of smoking 2 packs a day and in that context it became socially unacceptable to make mention of the fact that the effect of smoking 2 packs a month is negligible and potentially positive relative to alternatives for orally fixated people like overeating. |
