Stunned At What She Read

My letter is in regards to the startling information given by Suzy Jacobs, executive director of CV Alliance in [the Jan. 30] edition of the CV Weekly.

I was first offended in reading that 85% of NFL players participated in [the] Super Bowl with a concussion. Then I had to read twice over the [statement] made by NFL Commissioner R. Goodell [that he] is considering allowing players with head injuries to use medical marijuana if it’s [proven] to help.

I hope and pray that the commissioner uses his experience [and] knowledge and [puts the] well being of his players first and foremost when making his decision.

I would not have allowed my sons, deceased or surviving, to use this or any other drug to be used for any reason.
