ESPN College Football Analyst Quits Over Concerns For Player Safety. Former NFL player Ed Cunningham has been working as a college football analyst since 1. ESPN and ABC. Today, Cunningham told the New York Timesthat he is walking away from his job because he can no longer condone the game’s health risks. Cunningham told the Times that he is particularly concerned with football’s connection to traumatic brain injuries: “I take full ownership of my alignment with the sport,” he said. I can just no longer be in that cheerleader’s spot.”[..]“In its current state, there are some real dangers: broken limbs, wear and tear,” Cunningham said.
But the real crux of this is that I just don’t think the game is safe for the brain. To me, it’s unacceptable.”Cunningham, a former offensive lineman, was captain of the University of Washington’s 1. NFL. He told the Times that he has not experienced any symptoms of CTE, but that his decision to leave his job was still a personal one.
He was teammates with Dave Duerson and Andre Waters, both of whom were diagnosed with CTE after committing suicide. Watch Team America: World Police Streaming. You can read Cunningham’s full interview with the Timeshere.[New York Times].
