Quote:Putting aside your insulting comparison of NFL players to first responders and military. Do you really not think that every year there are firemen or policemen that quit because of the dangers of the job? Or coal miners or whatever other dangerous profession you might think of.

 

Yes, but they aren't being offered millions of dollars for a 7-10 year career.  They move on to other jobs that pay the same.  Personally, I have yet to see a police officer quit solely because of the danger of the job.  Many times its a contributing factor, but not the sole stimulus.  And being a police officer is exponentially more dangerous than being a football player.  How many police officers die per year just from suicide?
