There is a whole sports psychology around injury recovery.
This organization took in $700+ million in revenue, most likely. Has a yearly payroll of nearly $300 million. Why not pay a sports psychologist $100k and a social worker $50k snd have them just do routine wellness checks on players and their families? Especially injured ones.
It is a drop in the bucket, money wise. And might actually, you know, help the players emotionally & psychologically, which should yield better performance.
At worst, it will make them feel like their employer cares about them as people (at least a bit) instead of just being hunks of meat. Again, you'll get happier players and better performance. It might even yield a hometown discount in a contract negotiation once it a while. If it happence once it pays for itself for nearly a decade.
