The way I look at Tua and I really believe this is as long as he's clear to play he can do whatever he wants if he wants to try to play football and there are major risks that are involved. I totally respect that decision. Right. Like I

respect that humans have the right to make decisions about their own body.

I really do. So yeah I felt bad for him last night. I've always liked Tua as much as I expressed

you teeth that I didn't like the Dolphins and a part of why I like Tua so much is I

think he's grossly underrated and I think that Dolphin fans in a way haven't even

respected how good he's been since he's coming to the league.

It's almost explained away like every time he would make a big play it'd be like,

wow he under threw Tyree kill and it's like, come on dude the guy's playing well

but it's up to him you know Antonio Pierce came out earlier today and said he should retire

How about two we should do what he wants to do and he should talk to doctors certainly he should talk to former players he could even give you a call and say hey what do you think but ultimately he's the human who gets to make that decision yeah he is but I mean this this almost feels like a we need to protect you from you situation and you

hear this often in sport and usually it's it's physical injury it's nothing

you know about the mind but given where the the NFL has gone

over the last half a decade or even more now with protecting body like the head because of all the CTE issues and the repeated head trauma issues and they've legislated out of contact and I mean

one of the reasons that they kick off is the way it is, is because it was one of the leading, you know,

concussion providers or causes in the NFL.

And so, like, you can't let a guy despite his desire to want to do something put himself in physical harm for the future of his life.

That's why this is so serious.

And I know I'd want to play I'm sure I mean I had I had concussions I know I did one because I was I was unconscious on the field and got it back up and I played the next play or two plays later whatever it was crazy I

luckily didn't have any long-term effects right there's no guarantee that you're not going to have

long-term effects despite your desire to want to be out there playing a game that you love
