And this is why i laugh at the ex fighters that are all coming forward to sue the league for concussions.
Nobody put a gun to your head and told you that you had to fight for a living. And if you were to stupid to understand multiple blows to the head was a bad thing then oh well enjoy your life as a vegetable.

It's not about understanding repeated blows to the head is bad for you. It's about the choice of having to accept that in order to make it. It's a sort of extortion.
