NFL players union funding $100 million Harvard study on injury

4. This may not end up well for the sport of football..which has become the sport of inflicting bodily

damage, with less and less referee interference. Injured players are no longer on the Injured List. They are either Healthy or Not Healthy. They are increasingly encouraged and congratulated for "playing through it" rather than seem "weak" or "unhealthy".

This often inhuman behavior is at the behest of the owners, coaches, players, media and fans. The more about money a "sport" becomes, the less value to the human cost. There are those waiting in the wings ... yea leaving their education behind ... to cash in for a chance to be on the Professional Sports Lotto. (The $100 million for research is peanuts ... merely one top player's contract.) And why it takes a decade to figure this out? Smacks of attempts to control the outcome. It's not rocket science.

Sports and War scenarios have many similarities. NFL Vets have a large financial advantage over War Vets, however.
