Tony Dorsett In 2013

Tony Dorsett, going public with his symptoms of CTE, initially feels a bit different than the other plays who have come out, or committed suicide.  Nothing much may come of it, but at first blush, Dorsett is the sort of player with the sort of reputation that might change some minds about football.  Football as it played these days is not going to last; this concussion trauma injury problem is only going to look worse as science and medicine do their things--more damage, more widespread will be uncovered, with no effective treatment and sure as hell no "cure".  Maybe Dorsett will be the symbol for the new reality.  Or not, and football with hobble on for a while being pushed by billions of American marketing dollars, but reality ain't goin' away.
