Hit the wrong key so will finish my thought. How many more will be injured, many for life, before ‘we’ come to our senses? I have listened to the old “warrior mentality” argument, sorry, just doesn’t hold water, in fact it’s plain BS.
When I was in college in the Midwest, a young man was severely injured on the football field. I ended up in the local hospital while he was still there. The staff did an amazing job getting, and bringing him back. We got to know each other a little bit, a very nice person obviously humbled by his experience. I had “mono” & gladly left school to go home. But to this day I’m still horrified by the injuries that can, & do, happen. Imagine taking a full blow to the chest? He’ll never be the same vital person he once was.
I, as a mother, wife, grandmother, have never understood nor felt the need to understand, the lure of football, even baseball can be rough & unforgiving.
