Dan Patrick on Concussions in Football: This Is a Bigger Problem Than Anthem Protests | 6/22/18

Dan Patrick talks about the concussion issue the NFL is facing and how if it doesn't get fixed long-term the league could be in trouble.

Absolutely. If you look at the decline of NFL ratings and attendances, it began before the anthem protests. It started with the concussion and CTE news. More and more parents are preventing their kids from playing football and thus fewer and fewer people are following football.

There are no such things as "anthem protests." No one protested the anthem.

Im getting into MLS more than the NFL. The games are shorter and its way easier and cheaper to take the kids to. I would rather my kids play Soccer than play Football. If my kids are good at soccer than they can be a field goal kicker for their schools team:)

[@Amber90125]

I played soccer and I can tell you there are loads of concussions that would rival tackle football. Headers and the clashing of heads during a set a play on a corner kick or a free kick from the goal keeper and two players go up for the ball there is often a clash of heads.

Jason Moser I played real football (soccer) for over 17 years and at university and am serious. I know I was concussed at least 6 times

[@percussionjamz6704]

hey jason, played soccer, football, hockey and did a few different martial arts at least 10 years of my life. had several concussions and multiple major concussions of those several. Four came from hockey, two came from soccer, and one came from a kick in the neck. That asinine condescending comment looks stupid when research shows soccer is a top 3 sports in dangers for head injuries in the country and one of the leading sports for head injuries in the world. Furthermore....., have you ever tried to head a soccerball coming down 40 yards in the air at a high speed? guarantee you haven't.

I care Dan...WE are working with the NFL with our World's BEST CBD that gives EVERYONE a SECOND Helmet. Dr. Omalu is working with the NFL and he sits on our Scientific Advisory Board. His work was highlighted in the movie Concussion played by Will Smith. Our CBD is the BEST and we are the ONLY CBD company being used as Prescription ONLY for very Serious Issues in 12 other countries. CTE can be helped by our CBD...

American Football is on the wrong side of the prime curve, similar to that of aging players. Youth football will steadily decline, then there will be exponential drop. The ramifications of that will be felt quickly, not just through participation but also with the country’s sentiment toward football generally.

Maybe the anthem protest is a smoke screen for concussions

[@antibrotha]

Liberal Dan on the social justice attack again

[@theycallmezeek]

antibrotha lol he's talking about something completely different go read your Bible or something Mr. conservative

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Dan had the last good show until he went full sjw.

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Leftists get so mad when you call out their nonsense. Dan brought up kneeling while talking about concussions. He brought that nonsense here, not the commenters. Don't want to be called on it? Stop doing it. Pretty simple.

[@theycallmezeek]

NFL is rigged the point is he was talking about concussions and he happened to bring up kneeling for a brief moment and now your up your back about it so who's really offended

[@SouthernSkeptic]

"Brief moment." He brought it up. Simple as that.
