Honestly, every football fan should boycott this movie. Football will evolve into two hand touch the way this is going. ..
Football players are well compensated to play a sport they all know can be hazardous to their health. That's always been the case. So why should we (the fans) care about this movie? I have no idea.
This is such BS.
As a Seahawks fan, I don't want to see Russell Wilson losing his mind at 55. I don't want to read any stories about Bobby Wagner forgetting how to get back to his house when he leaves for the grocery store. I don't want to read these stories. Do you? If we're real 12's, we actually have emotional investments into the players that make up the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS... If we don't, we're no different than those ancient spectators in Rome who cheered when the gladiators killed off their opponent. We just want blood, and victory, and we don't give a damn about the people that bring that entertainment to us.
Look dude, we all love this game. We all love this team. That's why we're here, right? But the league needs to continue to make the game more safe for the players. To not do so with the evidence that is there is reckless. I actually thought Ricardo Lockette died on the field in that Dallas game. No movement, and players were shedding tears. What you're saying is that you want to take the humanity out of this game, and you simply cannot do that. Yes, they make millions, but in any endeavor in life you want to make sure that you go home intact at the end of the day. I work in a prison, and I make a fourth of what Kam Chancellor forfeited during the first two games of this season, but if my employer didn't continually look for ways to increase the odds that I go home intact to my wife and three boys after each day, they're doing me and mine a giant disservice. Not sure if you agree or not, but whatever.
The NFL is NO WHERE NEAR "touch football." What you're doing is taking an extreme stance on a highly volatile and serious issue, and you make little sense. To say that football fans should boycott evidence is reckless and irrational, and emotionless as well. If I'm in a dangerous occupation that I love, I still would expect those in power to protect me when given the opportunity to do so.
Can't wait to see (and support) this move, all while still loving my Seahawks and the game of football.
