Tragic

So I want to talk about the murder suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.

Now before everyone gets into everything we will probably never know exactly what happened. The two people who could tell the most are dead.

I give this link cause a couple weeks prior he was knocked out of a  game after a hit to the head and suffered amnesia. Now if this has anything to do with what happened we won't know. But there have been several players who have had concussions who have killed themselves.

What are the solutions.

Normally you look at players who suffer injuries and they are given their jobs back once they are healed. Lately, that has changed. If you look at both Alex Smith and Michael Vick, both qb's weren't given their jobs back after suffering injuries. That will have players worrying and not identifying when they are seriously hurt. That is a mistake.

What is the NFL's and NFLPA's responsibility? It is both of their responsibilities to make sure their players are safe. Safe and healthy. Problem is you obviously can't take hitting out of the game. If there is any question the players should be examined immediately BY INDEPENDENT DOCTORS. Not team employed doctors.

The NFL has let this go on for too long. Unless stricter measures are taken to protect the players, we might have to (I know how the right will feel) have a Government come in. The NFL is fully capable with the billions of dollars that come in to hire independent people, but to this point they are choosing not to.
