American Football and Concussions

An interesting story about a former football player that IMHO, tells volumes of what it's like to be a pro athlete.

The summary is: the player was indifferent to the concussions. We've heard this one before, if he wanted to play pro ball, then concussions, like doping in cycling were part of getting/keeping a contract.

LOOK ON THE LEFT SIDE FOR THE WHOLE INTERVIEW. The more obvious to me middle player is just a snippet.
