My generous brother in law again is inviting my husband to Notre Dame's final football game. And my husband is asking if he can go.
This is a dilemma-- again. Morally I cannot give my consent.
If my husband asked me if he go to a Roman Colosseum to see the finals, I would absolutely say, "no!" If he asked me if could go to the final boxing match of Tyson and Sugar Ray, I would absolutely say, "no!" The same is true for any boxing match.
A college football game to me is the same as the above. The only difference is the speed of induced death. In the Roman Colosseum, it is usually a few hours or less. In the case of a boxing match is lasts a few years. In the case of a football match, it is also a few years. But the process of the death of the player in these latter two examples are slow painful deaths for the player and the family.
Until football games do not increase the risk of traumatic brain injury and dementia, I will not be able to encourage or even condone the viewing of this barbaric sport.
To makes matters worse, football is socially acceptable. But I truly think it is unacceptable to see young men hit each other, particularly their heads, over and over. While I will not go as far, as a surgical colleague does, to say it is criminal to view football games, I can understand that statement. Most surgeons have retired football players in their practice. A large percentage of them are divorced dealing with chronic mental health issues. Are they are on their way to Alzheimer's and Traumatic Brain Encephalopathy? Many are. If I have paid to see someone do this to themselves, it would seem like a double tragedy.

My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house.
