There are worst things going on in the world, just go look at Washington, DC.
It's a brutal game. And those who love it often don't have the chance to walk away when they want to. The injuries this guy has endured playing in the NFL would have killed some posters here. How many here have had a lacerated liver?
He can do what he wants, he's the one who feels the pain. And he's in pain now. Not just from the injuries, but he no longer gets to do something he loves. He is now going to live the life with the rest of us.
If Peyton Manning could strap it up one more time, he would do it. So would this kid. But his body won't let him. I'm 60+ and I'm finding I can't do the things I use to. He's 29, and his body is failing him.
Get a grip, he got his jersey pulled off him by injuries, not by choice.
