Tom Brady's father has been a successful businessman in California. If his son wasn't so famous, nobody would care about what he had to say. He is the latest to jump on the concussion bandwagon during a recent interview.
He said if he knew about concussions back then, he might have been hesitant about allowing young Tom to play football. Brady started playing when he was 14. He was also a very good baseball player. He even got drafted as a catcher out of high school. Brady Sr always thought baseball would be the sport of choice for his son.
Why is everyone having a moment of enlightenment about concussions? I am not a doctor, but I have have known about their dangers since I was a kid. I know people who played football in the 1960's and 70's who suffered from concussions. They have problems to this day. This is not anything new. How can people be that unaware of the potential dangers in football?
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a game played with violent collisions is going to have bad results for some. All of a sudden, it has become popular to be outraged about concussions. Where were these people years ago?
