....So do Construction workers, iron workers, Deep sea welders(lung issues from gas), rodeo cowboys, ranchers, farmers, factory workers with repetitive motion injuries....and they do it for far less money and work far more years.
Your dream was to play in the NFL. You've made at a minimum hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single season in the league.
I know a shitload of people who have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, or have knees or backs that cause them problems.
I didn't play in the NFL and my hands swell, I've had knee surgeries and get swelling often, have had broken bones and back injuries that make some days pretty rough to get moving. So do a lot of other people and they're still going to work every day at 60 years old.
Stop bitching.

Yeah, I'm pretty over it. The NFL has done about all it can to safen up the game. Sucks these guys have debilitating injuries. No one from this point forth should say they weren't warned. Now
and play football or don't(guys from this point in history on)
