Natural pain relief; also promotes blood flow and thus healing.
I read yesterday that ex-NFL running back Ricky Williams is part of a panel set up to explore the use of Cannabis for pain relief in the NFL.

Notable ex-nfl running back because he couldn't stop smoking weed
Actually played his best seasons statistically after returning from retirement from Miami because he would not stop smoking.
Ricky seems really weird to most people. Big strong rich macho American dream NFL football player who smokes weed and studies with the Dalai Lama. Willing to "throw away" millions of dollars to be different. Not willing to pay the price of poor health and unremitting pain to play "America's game". Won't get addicted to opiates when a natural and more effective solution is available.
Ricky is a pretty smart dude in my opinion.

Wife got back from ortho and she has a minor MCL tear. Told her take it easy for a bit. She still plans on skiing this weekend.

Oh he's probably the smartest football player out there, throw in the towel before you end up with CTE
Get a knee brace for a little extra support and stick to the groomers
Exactly.

I believe in upcoming years we will find any lineman or rb who played through college and had a few documented concussions will develop MCI or CTE in later years but.earlier than the general population.
If you want to see some interesting sports illnesses that we are just finding check out the increases in lymphoma amongst young soccer players, specifically goalies. Interestingly enough, a giant study of European soccer players found that midfielders are exponentially more likely to develop ALS given the high oxidative stress when compared to other players. Granted the numbers are small but it is worth investigating further.

I am sure not even pro athletes. I am sure I had a number of undocumented concussions when I was playing in high school and hockey in college. It just was not looked at like now.

I think that's what Tin was talking about

It's way too early to say things are "causing" X. But when more than half of all college athletes who develop lymphoma and other forms of cancer play at a specific position in a specific sport it appears as though it is more than just a coincidence.

Yeah that's in addition to the voucher they gave me for a free ticket when it happened ( even though it was already after noon). I was very impressed
