[The Reality Salesman01]

I guess I can appreciate your compassion for other people, but for me, it's one of the many inherently dangerous contact sports that people get paid lots of money to play. It's entertaining just like boxing. I don't hear too many people feeling bad for Floyd Mayweather. I get that more information is coming to light that is showing how much more dangerous certain aspects of the game are, and I'm all for making it safer. However, due to the nature of the sport, and the speed and size of the athletes that play it, it's always gonna be dangerous. I love watching football. If I played, I'd get destroyed! But guess what? I realize that. Those who continue to play think otherwise and when they step out there on Sunday, they do so under their own free will, and with the consolation of their oversized bank accounts.
