A lot of the NFL players have respect for one another. I don't have a problem seeing players help opposing players off the ground. These guys take a ****ing beating every Sunday. It isn't high school where you can get hit 50x and it doesn't hurt. These are 250lb 3% body fat mutant men who are flying around the field running 4.5-4.6 range ****ing smashing into other people going all out full top speed w/ armored gear/pads on. Many players work out w/ each other in the offseason, played college ball together, whatever the case may be. FA has changed the game completely. You don't have players (except maybe franchise QB's but really not even so much that anymore) that stay around w/ one team which creates stronger rivalries. Those days are pretty much over.
