There are four NFL players that I know about that are now permanently quadriplegic from playing NFL football. Plus two, Thomas Herrion (49ers) and Korey Stringer (Vikings) that died immediately after walking off the football field from heat Stroke.
Not sure how many of your 65K cubicle co-workers were injured severely enough to end up quadriplegics or end up dieing from work related hazards?

Wow.......look I played this game in high school and college for free and if they would have had me as a pro as well ,I think most of us would love to play this game as a living.......but man you make them sound like Gods .......the players are just that players .I sure as hell would like to knmow what you think of the Police ,Fire and EMT's that responded to 9/11....that only made 45.000
Korey Stringer was over weight and as a player who has had heat stroke .....you know when something isn't right,he's as much to blame as anyone.....he should have been hydrating for days in preseason.....he wasn't a rookie. I played in a game were a player died an another almost did it wasn't the coaches or the other team...and it took me along time to realize that....it just happens and people do the best they can but as the T-shirt says ....shit happens
