Does Baseball benefit with all the issues the NFL is having?

lambert58 · Jan 27, 2013

With everything going wrong for the NFL with concussion issues do you believe that Baseball could benefit as some parents & players may not want to play at that level with the possibility of head injuries? Maybe a future "Bo Jackson" guy said no to the NFL and focuses only on Baseball...Your thoughts...

Yes I think it will slowly change the way the sport is played at every level. Parents will think twice before they let their son play football. On a much smaller level look at Bubba Starling. He was a big Nebraska recruit for football. Now I'm sure his 5 million dollar signing with the Royals was the deciding factor and maybe football injuries had zero to do with his decision but I believe many two sport athletes will take this road in the future.

Bubba starling is a prime example.. Although the $ was a sure thing in baseball but not in football..

Looks like we were thinking the same thing

Injuries to the head are now on the radar in every sport. If a parent doesnt let their child play because of fear of an injury I feel for the kid because everything can lead to injury..

On the flip side of the money issue hot boi at the moment Colin kaepernick turned down baseball money to play at Nevada. It's just going to be like it always has and will boil down the the kid and his family.

What I have such a hard time understanding is all these ex-players suing the NFL and others over concessions. You mean to tell me that it never crossed your mind that repeat bashing your damn head against things will make you more susceptible to head injuries? God damn idiots is what they are.

As long as all ball players start wearing these bad boys:

With all of our technology I can't believe there isn't a helmet designed for shock absorbing blows in the NFL

Everything else equal, athletes should always chose professional baseball over professional football. Longer careers, less injuries, guaranteed contracts. It's really a no brainier.
