Uh, yes, accurately said. And THAT is why what fans want is what should happen. Just like NASCAR, the only reason I (and a helluva lot of people) watch that boring shit is waiting to see a crash.
WE pay the tickets, buy the sponsors' products, etc. WE rule - or We should....... and I say again, if any player doesn't consider the risk worth the multiple millions he gets, he is perfectly free to go all Chris Borland and wimp out.
Or...if you don't like it now you can watch something else. Doesn't seem safety measures have hurt popularity of the game. Fact is they don't need you. They'd do fine without you.
