Wow. That Terry dude looks so much happier off meth. I was glad he committed himself to rehab. I hope he stays clean for himself and his family.

The fact that there are only 7 comments, and only 41k views concern me.

The sport needs to change. Some of the rule changes have been good like chaining the kick offs so it's basically teams starting at the 20. Teams should be required to have more players and required to play those players x amount of minutes so players who hit constantly get less exposure time. Expanding rosters in those positions and requiring rotation for all teams would help. there is a tremendous of talented football players who's career ends in college when they could be great players in a pro setting. This would take a huge coming to terms with the problems of the sport. The money is there. The sport is gaining in popularity with fantasy play and baseball continuing to decline in popularity.profits are off the hook and the NFL is a non-profit organization on top of it all.

Neurofeedback could also help their brain injuries. Definitely something to research and look into. Good thoughts to these men and their health and healing.

Hopefully out of the 53 thousand views this video has enough parents watch this and make the smart decisions about their kids playing football.

Football will always be the same unless u get rid of helmets.rugby has no gear and have no where near the number of concussions.the no helmets forces u to tackle with your shoulders n not lead with your head...

@theredraven 5 лет назад

Rugby has had its own issues with concussions. Not to mention another serious issue, players getting paralysed with neck injures from things like scrums.

@paulcollopy4043 5 лет назад

Interesting!!

Football and Rugby are and will always be cause brain damage unless you get rid off physical contact.

@eg8897 9 лет назад

So they are a treatment facility that is helping x players with head injury stuff..then they promote Terry in a positive way and encourage him to coach linebackers? Same with Ray..you support his career which is football talk, and act like it's all good and well..nothing wrong here, no hypocritical actions. The problem starts with football, why is this treatment facility, and the patients there of, promoting and supporting the sport that put them where they are today?!

@Jaymilliliftz 6 лет назад

Emer gibby I feel like them coaching probably makes the symptoms much less severe cause it's kind of like being back on the field and plus think about it football is not going away it is here to stay so they might as well coach

@Ptpop 5 лет назад

Football is a weird and twisted fraternity.

@stuckupcurlyguy 5 лет назад

I agree. It's bizarre. The game caused this for them, if I was them I would want nothing else to do with it.

@erikthorsen240 5 лет назад

@@stuckupcurlyguy Right? It's like being a combat veteran, and then going back to war and re-living it. Makes no sense.

@willcarlton3906 3 года назад

I support all these guys getting help and everything and I'm glad they're doing it but somehow, someway it always circles back to football. It's like an abusive relationship. Like Terry is taking a few day trip to coach some youth players? Didn't football cause all of this? Terry's old coach "supports" him but wants him to keep propagating the sport somehow. Like it or not football is fundamentally dangerous to your brain, it's not even the "concussions" per se, it's the hundreds and thousands of sub-concussive hits on a day-to-day basis over a 10-15 year career.

@ITsIMP0RT4NT 9 лет назад

If you look at the pictures Terry when he was younger you get the perception that he was an outgoing Type A personality, then fast forward to where he was before treatment and he seems just totally drained and in cognitive with no social skills whatsoever. That's entirely stemmed around meth and it seems like his behavior did a complete 180.

@ejmac11 9 лет назад

ITsIMP0RT4NT His coach even says that he never was a big talker, when he said that, I thought "ok, maybe that's why he doesn't speak much", because when he does speak, he speaks perfectly fine.
