Parlaying off of the paralyzed Rutgers football player..
I saw the clip of Desean Jackson getting absolutely crushed and I thought DeSean was going to be carried out on a sretcher after i saw the manner in which his neck snapped. That hit was sickening. It was a bang-bang play and im pretty certain Dunta Robinson wasnt intending injury but I think it needs to be drilled into players hands that they can ruin someone's life just because they want to lay the big hit and make a highlight. I blame ESPN Jacked Up for some of it. Pretty sure they dont show that segment anymore, which i dont mind at all.
I kinda get annoyed when "old-school" players knock the NFL for protecting QB's and recievers. Im sorry, but back when you played football in 1970, safeties were not 230 pounds and 255 lb defensive ends didnt run 4.5 40's. NFL is protecting their investment and i dont blame them. Besides the fact that it destroys your brain, Players make too much money and tickets are too expensive to be having players getting knocked around like rag dolls getting injured. Yea, you will definitely get the garbage, cheesy, "are you serious? He barely hit him" call, but I think the rules which protect athletes are necessary.
These concussions are getting more and more serious- and it was already really serious to begin with. I dont know what can be done because ithe danger of the sport is inherent to the game. There needs to be a player-player respect level somehow instilled in them. I wouldnt want to be the player responsible for ruining a players career or their life just because I wanted to lay someone out.
