My treat is lecturing others on why their treat consumption is bad. And cocaine, I really really love cocaine.

Modern research is finding that high school football is actually causing measurable brain damage for most players, even in the absence of outright concussions. It should be treated the same way lead exposure is.

I'm not talking about any brain damage, period, I'm talking about "random episodes of uncontrollable rage" and other severe symptoms. It's as different of a question as discussing any negative health effects from drinking vs. acute liver failure.
