None of the accusations surprise me. The NFL is nothing if not a moneymaker. Period. And however that has to happen is how it's going to happen. There are echelons of money and power that us normal folks can't even begin to fathom, and it's why we have a hard time accepting that stuff like this can happen and no one does anything about it. To those who have it at that level, money and power is everything. 

 

I agree with MoJo that if you don't know what you're getting into physically by the time you reach the pros, you're either an idiot or you haven't been paying attention. It's like saying those who went into the military after 9/11 and OIF/OEF started didn't know they'd most likely go to war. Don't be so naive. The idea that nothing will happen to you is foolish. Take responsibility for making the decision to play a physically demanding sport that WILL hurt you and move on.
