The Great Jim (James) Brown Say it All; The NCAA and NFL Are Hurting Players
May 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The Great NFL Running back is known for telling it like it is. That is something not to many people will do anymore. Today he went public and came out against the NFL and in fact the NCAA for using their players as fodder for a money making machine. This is something we at BrainChampions.org have been clear on. Football is a great sport full of risks and rewards. But the facts are that the Billions of dollars being made are all going to our NFL owners, their stock holders, and the NCAA.

And they do it with words, too. Twenty words, you flip it over, and try to write those 20 words. "Then, after a concussion, you take the same test and if you do worse than you did on the first test, you can't play. So I just try to do badly on the first test." (The Huddle)http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2011/04/peyton-manning-admits-to-tanking-nfls-baseline-concussion-test/1 That is the worst thing he could say. And he … [Read more...]
