NRL Concussion/CTE

NZWarriors.com

Shane Christie, ex Highlander, Crusader, Tasman Mako & Māori All Black has reportedly taken his own life 😥
In recent times he's gone down the sovereign citizen rabbit hole but was a strong advocate for CTE research and support for retired players after his former team mate, Billy Guyton, took his life too in 2023
 
There really is no future of the game TBH. Both NRL / NFL will get sued out of existence at some point. 50 years maybe? I don't know, but at some point the music will stop and the party will be over.
Or those sports exist but no player takes the field - even at schoolboy/girl level - until they sign a super-duper-tight legal waiver "I, as well as anyone in my immediate or extended family, will not initiate or be party to any legal action against this sport/sporting organisation for any permanent physical, emotional, mental or intellectual disability I suffer from playing this game within the rules that the ruling body of this sporting organisation put in place at any point in my career. Where permanent physical, emotional, mental or intellectual disability is found to exist due to any actions not within the existing rules of this sport as defined by the ruling body of this sporting organisation at any point in time during my careeer taken by me or any team-mate or opponent, the sporting organisation will not be legally liable."

And who's gonna sign that?

Or, who's gonna sign it but not read it? And then be very sad at some point in the future.

Mind you, to be frank, if you're playing sport professionally, you're not ever going to be invited to join Mensa...

In other words, there's no Cure For Every Cancer sitting on the interchange for the Wests Tigers wishing Jerome would break a leg so he could get some bloody game time!
