From ESPN:
Two members of the San Francisco 49ers' famed "Million Dollar Backfield" who died within months of each other this year will have their brains examined by researchers at Boston University who are studying head injuries in sports.
Joe "the Jet" Perry died in April at the age of 84, and John Henry Johnson died last week at the age of 81. Their families have agreed to let the former players' brains be examined by the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
CSTE is a collaboration between Boston University Medical School and the Sports Legacy Institute to address what it calls the "concussion crisis" in sports.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a disorder linked to repeated brain trauma. The brain of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson, who committed suicide in February, also was examined by the researchers and it was determined he suffered from the disease.

You, sir, are a complete idiot. From where did you get your information? It has been proven that African Americans are not only larger but we use 16% of our brains while caucasians use only 10%. It only stands to reason. Not only do we have to manipulate these superior physic, we have to be superior in every aspect of everyday living and survival because of the blatant double standards set in place by the inferior caucasian. This is due to fact that they realize they cannot compete with us on a level playing field. Add that to the fact that we also must be on alert for idiots like YOU. I know that you come on these sight so you can start shit, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to verbally bitch slap you. Have a most excellent and blessed day.

I refuse to recognized any literature that is written my ignorant so called white idiots like yourself. I prefer to get my facts from such places as the University of Maryland, which did the research in which I referred to. Your "facts" are based on conjectures and not research. That is what all you KKK and ABer's do. You seemed to have forgotten that your idiot ancestor, because they were too damn lazy, tried to breed a better slave. Face it...the shit backfired. They created a man that is superior to you in all aspects of life be it physical or intellectual. They only thing that you can claim superiority in lying, cheating, raping and stealing. The history books are proof of that and the amazing fact that you want to ignore is that these books were written and edited by caucasians. So don't try to send me to a website that spews racial hate about your "racial purity and superiority". By the way, I think you should go and get a DNA test done on yourself. After you do that, go dig up your grandfather and kick him in the ass for making you a mongrel. By the way, my IQ is over 130. This test was administer and created by caucasians. Have a nice day.
