I don't want football to be illegal. But I also want the NFL to own up to and be fully transparent and forthcoming about the risks of the sport.

For example, it would be great if there was a short message before each game is aired that said "the sport you are about to watch is know to cause X in players. X is an extremely painful and debilitating condition." Then play a short clip of patients suffering from X.

Similarly, anyone who wants to become a player should be required to watch such a video educating them about the risks.
