You really think that? Almost all the players?  There aren't a bunch on tv commentating, or being successful business people, or just living nice lives? Not saying it's not a risk but I think saying every player is going to end up brain damaged is a pretty big exaggeration.  How many soccer players brains have been examined? Baseball players? Hockey for heavens sake??  You don't think they're suffering concussions? Didn't Dale Jr retire due to repeated concussions? Football is risky no doubt but I don't buy most players are going to lose their minds because of playing.
