If the league is serious about player safety (as is the NFLPA), why are they ok with extending games?

I agree 100%.
The generation that said "a tie is like kissing your sister" is in the retirement home now.
The people who buy tickets and watch beer commercials now understand soccer games and have no problem with a hard-fought tie in the regular season.
By the way baseball should get this memo too.
They don't even have enough pitchers on the roster to do the rotation the way they want to do it into extra innings.
Baseball playoffs don't even need extra innings. They were going to play the next day anyway. Just let today's game end in a tie and see where the chips lay at the end of the scheduled games. They already do this for rain delays in the playoffs.
The only time you need to extend the game because of a tie is if you're doing a single elimination tournament. NBA playoffs don't need overtime. The NCAA tournament and NFL playoffs do. That's it.
