Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3543230, member: 10185"] Sad news about Wally. HOWEVER. These players know the risks of playing a contact sport and still play because they love the sport and the pay is good. I am 100% on board with post career assistance in regards to CTE and also finance education through their careers so they are not broke at the end of their playing career. There is a lot of footy players who struggle post career and it has nothing to do with CTE and more to do with gambling addiction etc. I am more sympathetic to the older generation of players because they were taught to be tough and shrug off concussions and keep playing and also bought into the stigma of what it meant to be a tough footy player. They were also payed a lot less. I do NOT have sympathy for this generation of players as they are far better payed and also know intimately the risks of playing a collision sport. If you sign a contract with full knowledge of the potential outcomes, then that's on you. I feel the same towards UFC/Bellator fighters. [/QUOTE]
