Okay, I am going to be honest with you guys on this one. When i first heard that the NFL wanted players to donate their brains, i though we were going to have a Frankenstein monster on the lose very soon. But then i read into it more and found that giving out your brain might be a good thing in the long run.

Lately, other contact sports (the NFL included) have had their players getting injured a lot, particularly to the head. This is why the researchers at Boston University want NFL players to donate their brains to study. They are trying to figure out if playing the sport gives players any, lasting injuries that they need to worry about.

This plea isn’t just going to current players, retired ones are also being asked to make their sport safer. Some reports claim that Chris Henry’s Brain might be donated after his autopsy is done. But for right now, the players are just being asked to make their sport safer for future generations.
