As a huge fan of football (the american variety), lots of thoughts and prayers go out to Keven Everett, TE for the Buffalo Bills. He made a head on tackle during a game Sunday, and was unable to move. They carted him off the field and rushed him to the hospital for immediate surgery. It appears there has been some spinal cord injury..surgery was done to repair broken vertabrae.
Is football too dangerous a sport? It certainly is a high risk occupation: Broken limbs and torn joints are a regular occurrence. But at the same time, these guys are also being compensated for the nature of their jobs. I have an issue with the fact that baseball players make so much...but it is for this reason that I have a hard time believing that NFL players are overpaid.
Thoughts and prayers go out to Everett who was a great Tight End at the University of Miami in his college days...
