Much has been discussed on both sides of the issues concerning the recently released University of Michigan study of retired NFL players with dementia. The focus of the study is a very important and emotional issue for retired players and retired player advocates.
It has been and always will be our mission to inform retired players and their families of the issues in a manner that is open and honest, free from emotions and politics. With that said, we encourage all retired players, family members and advocates to read the University of Michigan study and form your own opinions. You can read the study by clicking here. After reading the study please take the time to let us know what you think. Now is the time for solutions and not rhetoric.
