A Site For Tissue

Everyone agrees that there might be a link between brain injuries and the violence on the playing field.The recent death of former LB Junior Seau shed light on a couple of institutions competing for a sample of his brain.

The NFL sponsored site at Boston University was vying for the tissue along with the Brain Injury Research Institute. The family finally decided on the National Institutes For Health. The government agency will issue their own findings.

Instead of competing with each other, everyone should be sharing research and working for the common goal. The BU center has been viewed as biased because of their affiliation with the league. It's important to do the research with out being concerned about who gets the credit.

I think the final results will be a nightmare for the NFL.
