But most of these jobs do not come with the opportunity of the nfl or the American media. Yet people still work in coal mines...

NFL players are modern day gladiators... But it is not an unrewarded profession in comparison. It is in our faces, while coal mining and other dangerous professions are not.

Taking care of each other is the only important equalizer. Be a better human. Care about others. The rest is probably about money.

I've always thought the same thing about sports. Especially contact sports. It's the modern day Gladiators, but with obvious benefits to the players and much less risk in comparison. I think it's just a shot you take and you need to be careful moreso in the long term damage aspects as incidents like this are extremely rare outliers.

If anything this would increase the safety aspect of the league in having equipment and personnel being more timely and quick to respond rather than equipment and such.
