Survey: NFL vets report high toll, few regrets
The survey, conducted by the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), revealed that former NFL players face significant health challenges as they enter retirement. Compared to the average American man, these players are more likely to be living with chronic pain or a disability. Despite these issues, the majority of the surveyed players expressed no regrets about their decision to play professional football. In fact, most of them stated that they would choose to play the sport again if given the chance. The survey highlights the physical toll that the game can take on its players, even years after they have left the field. However, it also suggests that the rewards and experiences of playing in the NFL outweigh the long-term health consequences for many former players.
