Somehow because he wears the uniform we route for, we need to be worried about Taylor getting injured because he takes too many hits. Where is this same concern for a guy like Kelly who legitimately every play of every game is involved in a high speed car crash? Can't have it both ways. Either we enjoy and celebrate the violence of it and accept the risk, or we find it abhorrent and don't fund it. I don't think we can individualize the violent risk component of this admittedly very violent sport.
