NFL Insists Football Is Safe Even As List Of Players With CTE Grows.

I posted a thread about CTE, it concerns "real" footballers too.

Leicester (why is there an "H" in the thread title?) has been amazing to watch and really made me excited about the title race in England for first time in years. I just hope they can hold it together as worry will be stripped by wealthier clubs and sink back down. For now though been brilliant to watch.

Thread is maintained by a non-english speaker? Easy mistake to make, English is a stupid language.

'Lester' is how it's pronounced. You look at Leicester and any not Brit would probably say the 'ces' as 'chess', most people do.

Ah. Football does have that odd aspect where clubs and cities names across language barriers.

For example I always say "Roma" for the club, but always say "Rome" for the city.



I just assumed Leichester was a pun on Manchester.



                            

Speaking of Roma... I hope they disqualify RM, they did it once, they can do it again! Bale is probably gonna miss the first match.
