There are two trains of thought here that could apply to Adams here: either he doesn't understand the consequences of the disease, or he's resigned to the fact that football has proven over and over again that it is a dangerous sport and should be treated as such.
Either way, his response to the controversial situation was rather blunt, and is sure to rile up people on both sides of the argument right now.
