As my younger daughter, a cheerleader and gymnast in high school, will attest. She goes in for her hip surgery in about a week. That's a rough sport. I met an NFL alum that played in the Super Bowl and he could hardly walk at 44 years old. Wonder if he had any regrets... Several years ago, there was a documentary done on the likes of these guys. Some were in wheel chairs. They were asked the same question, and ironically most said they had no regrets at all and if able would 'do it again' Winning and being productive is ingrained in the human psych, at least for most! Survival is the basic instinct of humans all else flows from that. Pro football's "bloodthirst" is hardly a metaphor for human life. It's just a game, nothing more. Unfortunately, many of its fans are attracted by its brutality and are willing to pay for their bloodlust. Professional car racing is also a bloodsport and I'd guess more drivers are killed each year than football players. But...if you are a driver and you deliberately cause injuries to another driver, you're likely to be suspended from the sport or tossed out entirely. Let's be honest here. A big part of the attraction of football is the likelihood of seeing over-steroided players beat the crap out of each other, with the chance of seeing several carried off the field with serious injuries. Speak for yourself. He most surely is. |
