I think that they should care for them because if they don't then they will kill themselves. A lot of people die from depression because concussions.

Hey Aaron I disagree with you because I feel that each player makes enough to take care of themselves.

I think they should and they shouldn't take care of the athletes that had concussions after they retire. They should because the athletes helped the team win titles and a lot of stuff. They shouldn't because they have a lot of money and a lot of fame so maybe they don't need the teams help.

I think that the NFL should not take care of the retired players. Even though they had a concussion when they were on the team they can take care of themselves.

No because the players have a lot of money whether they win a game or not. The family can take care of them and the family can get a job and get more money.

The NFL should care because having a concussion is really dangerous that comes to football. And getting hit to the head can cause brain damage from the front,back, and the two other sides.

I think that the NFL should not care for them because they are wealthy and make enough to care for themselves. I don't think that they should pay them for playing and take care of their medical care too. That's too much. Plus there are a lot of players that get injured and that's a lot of money to spend between all the players.

Caio, I agree with your statement that the players should get medical help because they're the ones playing.

They should not care for them. If you play football you are bound to get hurt and you have to play at your own risk.

I think that the NFL doesn't have to because the players know what they signed up for. I feel that if they retired then they are taking care of themselves.

I think that the NFL should be responsible and required to help after the incident.

I think the NFL should take care of retired football players because it was the NFL's fault. If they don't take care of them, the players can get a concussion and get brain damage.

I think that the NFL players should care for retired injured players because even though they earn lots of money for themselves, they should have some sympathy for those who retired and need help with their conditions.
