I agree with you but the decision is for him and his family not for the rest of us. I don't want to watch him play to be honest. It feels inevitable. Maybe that is a cop out on my part because I watch football all the time knowing these guys are putting their bodies, and future health on the line. I saw Hamlin essentially die on the field and I have no problem watching him play now. I don't get concerned he is going to take a hit and have his heart stop again but for some reason it is different with Tua. Maybe it was how the second one he got looked and how badly it was all handled by the Dolphins but I don't want to see his next one.
He had previously talked about how his mom wanted him to walk away from football after what happened a couple of years ago. I just can't imagine that she is feeling any different this time around.
For me, with Tua, I think it's the whole head injury stuff and the delayed effect it can have. Hamlin was so bizarre that I feel I can get my head around it and see how he could return. Tua though I mean even if it doesn't have any more severe ones any more shots to the head are going to be devastating down the line and we have seen what happens to the stars from 10-20 years ago that are now severely disabled because of the hits and I cant recall another player suffering one not to mention two as bad as Tua.
