Rob Gronkowski claims damage from head injuries is 'fixable'

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Earlier this week, the retired Rob Gronkowski informed CBS News in an interview that he "probably had like 20 concussions in my life" that included "like five blackout ones."

Yet he said he would let his kid play football, because he would "educate him on what I went through" because injuries are "fixable."

I'm watching my son everyday struggle from a TBI... he does everything he can to avoid another "hit" because, if it is fixable, it takes a very long time and is very serious

7. This guy isn't just an idiotic meathead doofus, he's also an asshole.

It's fucking irresponsible to say false shit like this, it is outrageously immoral to say it in the course of promoting snake-oil remedies for money.

9. Bet his brain is loaded with lesions.

I remember reading a family gave a football playing teenagers body to CTE research and they found the lesions in his brain.

I would never let a child play football.
