I lived in Memphis for a year. There’s actually a fairly high concentration of Jews there (at least considering the region).

I know!

And if this is going to be how we analyze things, why not call 1978 to 1989 the “Cocaine Era”? No one gets in from that era unless I see photographs of their nose.

“Old man doesn’t understand how voting works, wants someone to tell him how to feel about things: The story of the 2016 Election.”

Asked for comment, Schroder’s mother stated, “Mwah mwah wah, wah mwah wah mwaaaah.”

Are we basing it on whether either uses apostrophes correctly?

It’s even earlier than High School isn’t it? Kids are playing pee-wee and being told to suck it up and lauded for playing through being hurt.

Your logic is insane. Just look at these numbers:

Thank you. Even if you want to make the argument that NFL players are adults and therefore have decision-making power in their own lives (again, this is faulty logic), that isn’t true for high school or even college kids. And given what we know now about brain development, those are critical years. So you have HS…

The argument you’ll see around—mostly in the ESPN.com comments, actually—goes something like These players knew what they were getting into. Everyone always knew smashing your head is bad for your brain. But that’s simply not true. This wasn’t something anyone talked about until the last decade or so.

Even with the argument that players should have assumed big hits and concussions are bad for your brain, the scariest part of the research to me is that it isn’t the massive hits that are the most dangerous.

The argument that people knew what they were getting into is silly. I played high school football, and while clearly not talented, even I was told to suck it up and play. I remember getting my “bell rung” and people laughing about it as I looked up to the sky wondering where I was. I don’t remember (ha!) the word…

Not enough people are going to read the GQ longread on CTE that Drew linked.

Jennifer Beals ?

I wonder if you felt so strongly about these issues when you wrote that hand-wringing essay about how hard it was for you to decide whether to vote.

It’s important to remember that WikiLeaks didn’t just publish the emails that were twisted into evidence for Pizzagate, but actively encouraged that interpretation.
