Funny, I thought #DaveZirin meant The Game must end (the #NFL), but he just meant that one contest. Sad. Football kills about 4 young men from brain and neck injuries per year nowadays (discounting 2020-21 cuz covid) - not counting longterm injuries of course https://nccsir.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/5614/2022/05/Annual-Football-2021-Fatalities-FINAL-public-1.pdf #DamarHamlin

I heard about #BuffaloBills player #DamarHamlin heart stopping from a hit in Monday's #NFL game. I didn't catch that the players and coaches essentially went on a #WildcatStrike refusing to keep playing, and the #NFLPA #Union called for the game to be postponed.

"the league only called the game after player reps from both teams contacted the union, the NFLPA, which informed the league that the game was done. This was a workplace action." #DaveZirin of #TheNationMagazine
