mead107 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 He is not a doctor. As long as players make a ton of money, players will play. Tell players they are only going to make $30,000 a year and you might see 80% of players not play. 99% of players that play college football never make the NFL still play football.

Augie Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Had Terry been in a recent accident? The players play for the money. Parents and kids decide when to start playing. We didn't let our kids start until HS. By the time you are in HS or college YOU are making a decision. You can't blame anyone else for the results of YOUR decision. Most retired players say they'd go back and do it again. That speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurna Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) "If" he said this, he must be an idiot http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/06/when-asked-about-concussions-owners-shouldnt-avoid-the-issue/ With Goodell flipping the “football players live longer than you” card, Bills owner Terry Pegula opted to say nothing at all when asked about the lingering issue of head injuries. “I don’t like to talk about concussions publicly,” Pegula said, before talking about concussions in a way that downplays concussions in football. “Concussions happen in all parts of our society. It happens in every sport. You can be driving your car down the road and get a concussion in an accident. I don’t want to discuss the relevance of it in the football world.” Edited August 7, 2017 by Spurna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 He did say it. I watched the interview. He makes Doug Whaley look like a natural in front of a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig1Hunter Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 He said it in a recent interview...its posted on the team site. Terry probably should let Kim do the on camera stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hm... He could have went with a different answer... Smacks of denial... Perhaps a little ignorance... All he had to say was that it's a worrisome issue, -the league is doing it's homework, -And he's looking forward to answers in the near future. Who's his PR Guy?

He makes Doug Whaley look like a natural in front of a camera.I don't disagree, but this is not just a matter of not being comfortable in front of the camera. This quote betrays profound ignorance, not to mention blatant insensitivity to a very real problem. Pretty scary, actually.

ALF Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 There are serious risks for some jobs like a soldier in combat , police officer and some others. Playing football is a voluntary choice. They need to keep trying for the safest helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
