Finally, someone else said it.
It's sickening, we ruin these kids' brains for a few minutes of dumb entertainment in our sports-worshipping wreck of a country. We destroy these people, and train yet more to take their place; all for a few games and ad sponsors.

I'm a hermit, no problems there.
Risk is everywhere, I get that. But there's a lot we can do to make things better, and the fact we keep sacrificing young men to this dumb game is ridiculous to me.

Oh no, I think that's insane too. But football has a long history of lawsuits and problems, and we continue to ignore the dangers for petty entertainment.

I mean, yes- there IS something wrong with loving dangerous things. Even if it doesn't hurt you, it can and likely will hurt someone else. Concussions, broken bones, and a psychological toll on the players- not to mention how it trains young boys to solve every problem with violence.
Just to name a few.
Freak injury it may have been, but there's plenty of others that happen in this ridiculous sport that America worships.

Alright, that's fair!
I still think we should seriously re-evaluate the sport from the ground up, and how much damage it can and does do to humans.

This is hilariously depressing.
Man nearly dies for a stupid, violent, unsafe game- and that's the first thought.

Even so, the sheer amount of head trauma and other stuff is too much to deny. This is dangerous beyond what we should allow as a civilized society.
