Former Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora called it "ridiculous" for current players to complain about the NFL's efforts to reduce hits to the head with more penalties and suspensions.
"Are players really this dumb?" Umenyiora tweeted. "Hate to say it but cmon. Former players have died and are dying horrible deaths because of head trauma. And you're complaining because the league is taking steps to at least try and reduce it. 'Make it flag football.' Ridiculous."
The "Make it flag football" part is in reference to Steelers safety Mike Mitchell, who ranted Wednesday about the league's attempts to limit hits to the head.
