It's Not Just In Your Head
Football players regularly suffer strains, broken bones, muscle, ligament, and tendon tears, and other permanent problems. If you were ever a football player and you walked away from the game without sustaining a single injury, you are in the minority. About 33 individuals died from football injuries between 2000 and 2016. As the league gets more powerful and the players get bigger, we might see more deaths unless some rule changes are made.
