Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reiterated his belief that there is not yet enough evidence to prove a definitive link between football and head trauma, SI's Greg Bishop and Michael McKnight write in their special report "Football In America."
“We’re drawing conclusions so far out in front of the facts,” he says. “I can live with that, as long as we understand that I’ve seen milk and red meat [debated] for the last 30 years, whether they’re good for you or not.”
Jones has made similar comments in the past. He says he isn't opposed to efforts to make the game safer—he thinks making face masks smaller would be a good change to discourage tacklers from using their heads as weapons—but he thinks more research needs to be done before any drastic changes are made.
