There's even a monitary fund set up for him.

I thought about all the children in St. Judes Hospital, for example to name one group of tragedy stricken people, along with their poor parens. And people who risked their lives to save others (military). This guy was playing a dangerous game with known risks all for big money and self satisfaction. Again, tragic and I'm sad but it's weird how people treat his injury (severe at it is) just because he's a pro sports player.


I agree 100%
As a country, we have some messed up priorities and concerns.
