Steelers safety Troy Polamalu says that if the NFL is going to keep passing rules designed to protect the players, the players should get a vote in those rules.

I like one of the comments:

 

As a caveat for players then, each should have to sign an airtight waiver, that starts with the line:

 

“I understand that football is an inherently dangerous sport and I assume all risks involved with playing football, which may include everything up to, and including, death. I surrender all of my rights to sue for damages anytime before, during and after my career is over( which includes any agents, family members or survivors) and hold the NFL, it’s teams and owners and everyone associated with the sport, harmless.”

 

How simple is that?
