Obviously I do know more than all qualified doctors, I stayed at a holiday inn fuker. It's just a question, answer it give your opinion or shut up, no need to b!tch at me. I'm just stating my opinion as if I was in his shoes. Also learn to read. I said you could have a stroke anytime anywhere, I think that would include the kitchen. I'm talking about risks here sitting on a chair in your living room is a smaller risk compared to playing football in the NFL I would assume. Again, I'm not sure what causes strokes, I'm sure I could look it up, I believe it has to do with blood flow to the brain.

seriously, quit turning everything into a ***** fest

Depends on your neigborhood. I agree with you. Though another angle to consider, is it better to be seriously injured doing what you love, or going through life safely but being denied the thing you were meant to do? This is why pro athletes have so much trouble shutting it down. (Evander Hollyfield, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Mike Tyson....the list goes on.)

I'd like to hear what his family has to say about it. For all you know his wife may not want him to play, but doesn't want to keep him from being happy. Only time will tell, and I wish him the best of luck. I'd hate to see anything go wrong. I just can't get the picture out of my head of him and his two kids running around on the field before the Pro Bowl. I'd feel really bad for his kids if something happened.
