NFL's dirty little secret: players suffer

According to Jeff Pearlman, football is bad for you. He states that several players suffer from concussions and injuries to the whole body. Some football players think that the league doesn't care about the players; they only care about the money. I think they are right that they suffer a lot, and the league doesn't care about their health in the long run. The league wants to increase the number of games to 18, and it will also increase the damaged players. I think they are ok with having 16 games. They mention testimonials from famous football players that have permanent body damage to convince us not to follow them.
