Haunting Words from Junior Seau
Junior Seau�s family has agreed to allow his brain to be examined by researchers into chronic traumatic encephalopathy. In this March 2012 article, Sports Illustrated�s Jim Trotter asked Seau about the perception that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was making the game too soft with his enhanced enforcement of player safety rules.�It has to happen,� Seau said. �Those who are saying the game is changing for the worse, well, they don�t have a father who can�t remember his name because of the game. I�m pretty sure if everybody had to wake with their dad not knowing his name, not knowing his kids� name, not being able to function at a normal rate after football, they would understand that the game needs to change. If it doesn�t there are going to be more players, more great players, being affected by the things that we know of and aren�t changing. That�s not right.�
