Comments by "My Name Doesn’t Matter" (@mynamedoesntmatter8652) on "Football High (full documentary) | FRONTLINE" video.

Dr. Bennett Omalu, who at the time was working as a coroner in Allegheny County. He wanted to know why Iron Mike Webster died so young, looked so old and was so broken down at age 50. His brain should have been a mess but it appeared to have normal pathology, so Omalu fixed the brain to see what the slides looked like. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Finally, after a fight and major denial (there’s actually a PBS Frontline special of that), football had to at least change the helmets, but that doesn’t fix anything. Watch the hit Tua took last season. You can see the major initial damage by the spasm in his hands unless the video replays have been taken down. He’s got damage he doesn’t know yet (and wouldn’t admit), and the money machine that is the NFL couldn’t care less about the players. Now that NIL is here, CFB will be nothing less than college level NFL. Kids will have done themselves in by age thirty - or sooner. All for money.

If he makes it to age fifty.

I’ll pray for you, Maurice. I’m so sorry this is now your burden, and I pray for it to be lightened. Give it to Jesus to carry, and know that He is always with you. I’ve had debilitating migraines from age 11-12. I’m a girl, so no football history. But I do know about migraines my entire life and I’m pushing 70 now. I’m so sorry for this, and for others. Like so many I’ve been a huge football fan since I was little, but after learning all this, for Bennet Omalu finding CTE, my fandom reduced drastically the last several years. People practice idolatry and worship at the altar of almighty football, and it’s all so wrong. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you, Maurice.

It’s not a game. It’s as barbaric as the Roman coliseums were. Now that NIL has taken over there’s really no such thing as CFB. HS will be CFB level and I look for NIL to reach into these junior HS kids. It’s pathetic, and I grew up loving CFB. I don’t get excited about it anymore. I see it for what it is. Kids are dying or going to be vegetables by age thirty and it’s all about the money. I see that megachurch pastor in Arkansas (Shiloh) in the middle of that HS football (the Christian Saints ??!) and it makes me sick. They’re worshipping football and playing at church for money to funnel into their football. Pathetic.
