Ravens C Matt Birk Says We Should Respect Former Players

Filed Under: afc, afcnorth, nfl, ravens

Posted By: MediaGuy 07-06-2009 , 11:52 AM	#1

It's disturbing to me how the players of previous generations are being treated. The men that came before us built this game into the multi-billion dollar business it is today. An alarming number of former players live in physical and mental pain because of injuries suffered while playing -- some with symptoms that didn't manifest until long after their NFL careers were over.
