No one is forcing them to play this game. A game where even the lowest paid make A LOT more money than joe average is out there making.
And they don't have to be crippled for life, it's there choice. It's the chance they decide to take to make 30x what the guy out there breaking his back for $20 an hour makes. That guy has no choice. Don't even act like they have no choices. OH please
None of this changes the fact that the game can be made safer and still be enjoyable. Also, millions of dollars doesn’t sound as nice when some of these guys need assistance in their own home while they are in their 30’s.
To your last point, everyone has choices. Some people choose the wrong one, but everyone has them. Just because the guys make millions of dollars doesn’t mean they should be crippled/blowing their brains out before 50 years old.
Besides, if the NFL doesn’t go about making the game safer then they will be facing a real dilemma down the road. Football is no longer the most popular high school sport and participation has been declining for the past ten or so years. The talent pool shrinking over time is a major concern.
