during his hall of fame speech in 2006 harry carson does not directly mention cte, but he does mention that he does not think the nfl is doing the best job they can to help out ex-nfl players. when he states "i would hope that the leaders of the nfl, the future commissioner, and the player association do a much better job of looking out for those individuals. you got to look out for 'em. if we made the league what it is, you have to take better care of your own" (carson). carson takes an aggressive stand when it comes to cte and how the nfl handles their own ex-players that are struggling with head trauma later in their lives. although harry carson was an excellent football player he does suggest that kids not start playing football because of the consequences that could come to them later in life. the nfl reached a concussion settlement of 765 million dollars for the former nfl players that sustained head injuries on the field. when carson was asked about the settlement in a "frontline" interview he says, "and so i think everyone now has a better sense of what damage you can get from playing football. and i think the nfl has given everybody 765 million reasons why you don't want to play football" (carson). harry carson thinks the huge settlement is good for the former players, but it also scares people away from playing football because of the chances of head trauma players could experience later in life.
