There are lots of people with problems in their past that go into every type of employment in this country. There are bankers, lawyers, stock brokers, and doctors who also got into trouble in college or high school. So the NFL is no different. And some of the most succesful businessmen ruin their health by working 60 hours a week and suffering from stress related problems
This is not like during the industrial revolution when the poor were forced to work under conditions that killed them or destroyed their health. The way coal barons and industrial magnates treated labor back then was close to slavery. they forced them to work in deadly conmditions and if anyone complained they were removed. But the NFL is not like that either. these guys are paid millions of dollars in exchange for any damage to their health. I think that college athletes should get paid something, but they are still in a situation that is NOTHING like slavery.
