    Another NFL preseason game suspended in 4th quarter after a player stretchered off. Reportedly had movement in all his extremities. If this carries over to regular season, they are setting a bad precedent. Once you start doing it, how do you justify stopping doing it?

    As soon as teams have to start refunding fans and players start losing a bit of money, this will end really quick

    Imagine up by a couple points (like the Patriots), with a minute or two left, the other team driving for the winning score (like the Packers), somebody on the team that's ahead suddenly goes catatonic on the field, nothing moving but maybe a wink of the eye to the paramedic if they're at home.

    No, I don't think it would carry over to the regular season hahahahaha.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    They won't do this in regular season when the games matter unless it's another Damar situation where the player's heart stops. Goodell and the NFL head office are doing this for the PR. When BUF-NYJ kickoff, there's almost no way are they stopping Josh Allen vs. Aaron Rodgers because someone needs a cart. Playoff seedings and TV revenue and everything else is at stake.

    The sad truth there, run. The NFL is concerned about player safety and emotional well-being . . . until it costs the NFL too much money.

    They all make a kings ransom to play a game that comes with risks. Either cancel the sport (as I believe boxing should be) or play through it.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
