ONE MISCREANT

I'm curious why we allow our elected officials to dictate what is best for us.

NFL player Chris Henry and Our US Vets...

As tragic as Chris Henry's story is, I can't help but draw a correlation to Vets of Iraq and Afghanistan. Head trauma is head trauma, whether it's to a talented professional athlete or an honorable US military volunteer.

It seems logical that the research has a common thread.

One Miscreant

It has always bothered me, to see a professional football player take head shots at another player. The sole purpose, to hurt the other player. Likewise it also bothers me, that we care more for our professional athletes than we do our courageous Vets. Veteran head trauma is a bigger problem in the military, than it is in professional football. Vets deserve better care, IMO.
