You can't waiver away workplace hazards, employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace. I already addressed this, but they have to make an effort to continue to make their working environment safer within reason, which they have to this point. The NFL also must lead the way because as you go down levels it is even tougher to waiver things away when there are minors involved. The NFL needs to get in front of this in order to keep their pipeline of talent available, and their free farm system up and running.
