  • Hey football players - stop donating your brains to science

    Look at the ridiculous state we're in.

    Zac Easter: He left his brain behind to save others from his fate

    Zac Easter was always the toughest tackler for his team, just like his NFL heroes.

    He was the linebacker who used his head as a battering ram, dominating opponents and setting the aggressive tone in defence. To his mother, he was an "all-American kid"; a grade-A student at school, 'soldier of the year' at his national guard volunteer group, and a huge sports fan.

    The symptoms first showed at age 11, when he began experiencing headaches and a sensitivity to light. Doctors attributed it to 'hormones' at the time. Over the following decade, those symptoms would become much worse.

    "Memory loss, blurred vision, slurred speech. He would be talking and all of a sudden what was coming out of his mouth made no sense," says Zac's mother, Brenda.
    "It's not what a normal 21-year-old does. I remember him coming down for dinner and he just said: 'mom, there's no hope for me. I want my brain donated to science.'
    Somehow jocks have been tricked into believing that after decades of mundane physical labor scientists are interested in... their brains. Uh no thanks Zac, I think the smart kids are playing a prank on you. The Bible doesn't say anything about donating your brain to science. How about you impregnate some 17 year olds like your father and his before him to create the next generation of physically perfect waffle waitresses soldiers for Christ. Attaboy, I wanna see you give it 110 out there.
    If I have seen further, it is by standing on the heads of others.

    Ha! That headline says it all: He Left His Brain Behind! It sounds like a title from one of those worst-movies-ever-made compilations.

    What happened to him is certainly not what happens to a 21-year-old in the True Christian™ world. But then our children don't shoot themselves (at least, not deliberately) and would never leave copious notes blaming football, macrame, or parental neglect.

    Sparing the rod rarely pays off. Proverbs 13:24.
    Vaccinated by the love of Jesus!!!

      I'm imagining an entire series of movies following on the success of the Jackass franchise.

      He Left His Liver Behind! brought to you by members of AA.
      He Left His Legs Behind! from veterans of the Iraqi campaign.
      He Left His Balls Behind! yada yada yada the LGBTQ community.

        There are endless football players who got scrambled brains after playing awhile. Now here is one whose brains were scrambled both before and after.

        Let's focus on what is important here. It's selling tickets. It's a billion dollar business. And we're supposed to drop tears because of a few brains that got out of whack? It seems to me we have a good thing going here and we should stay with it.
        Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

          There's a Bible quote something along the lines of: Better a day as a lion than a lifetime as a drooling vegetable. Why not both!? I think football players can all understand (well, the gist anyway) that their brains are going to a good cause when they see the greatest hits highlight reel in hi-def from 7 camera angles. Certainly preferable to pagan human sacrifice aka brain donation.

            What a waste. Neurology is just a theory, because there is no scriptural support to the idea that the "brain" organ has any important function at all. The Bible teaches us that the heart is the seat of human thoughts and imagination (Genesis 6:5, Genesis 8:21). This is incontrovertible. But that kid shot himself in the heart. Just as well because those secular scientists will probably just end up eating his brain. This is where denying Christ will lead you, to suicide and cannibalism.
            I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore,
            Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more;
            But the Master of the Sea heard my despairing cry,
            From the waters lifted me, now safe am I!

              Apparently, CTE is like most of the Democratic voter base: it only shows up after death.
