Does this set a precedent where a team can decide not to play because a player suffers a severe injury? As a fan, seeing something like Joe Thiesman's leg getting snapped or the injury to Alex Smith is much more traumatic. Seeing Tua's hands clench due to traumatic brain injury was horrible. Watching a player take a helmet to helmet hit and fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes is hard to watch.
I read somewhere that injuries like this were common in baseball where players would take a fastball to the chest and stop their heart. What sort of changes do we envision the NFL is going to make to prevent sharp blows to the chest?
