I don't want to benefit from this.

Then these people in charge needs to be replaced. Had the NFL forced the game to go along, the reaction would have been very swift and severe.

And saying "go into your locker rooms and wait until the ambulance leaves to begin a 10 minute warmup for resumption of play" would have been better?

I dislike Roger Goodell, a lot.

But, the NFL getting hammered by people like Ryan Clark is getting a little out of hand.

Police stood outside a classroom while children were murdered, and one of the reasons was poor communication between people on the scene.

The Commissioner wasn't in attendance, as far as I know, and the President of the NFLPA was not in attendance, as far as I know.

It is understandable that the decision makers took time to get the correct information, talk to all concerned parties, and discuss options and possibilities, before making a decision or a statement to the media.

This situation is obviously not common, and for the most part unprecedented. The correct decision was made, and that's what matters.

Making millions of dollars playing the game that is a business, then talking about the game that is a business, and then criticizing the game because it's really a business, just doesn't resonate with me.

The NFL didn't come to Ryan Clark's house and force him to play in the NFL, so why suddenly act like the NFL being a business is evil?

Everyone, absolutely everyone involved in the NFL wants the young man to be well and to recover.

I just have no idea what "figuring out a way to intervene" would actually look like. A coin toss to decide a bye in the NFL playoffs?

This is consistent with the way it played out on TV. The coaches had a much better pulse of the players, so it isn't surprising that they would be in a better position to take the initiative than NFL headquarters. Good for the coaches, and no shade on Goodell (I'm no fan).

They might. Apparently, the NFL wanted them to continue to play after the delay and the coaches/teams decided on their own to not do that.

lol.. should they cancel the game before getting the information?

perhaps telepathy?

I mean im.not sure what people expect but of course they don't EXPECT this type of injury. they expect and prepare for the game to go on

Friday Night Lights movie had a 3-way coin toss to figure out a spot in the playoffs. It was based on a true story in West Texas high school football. Of course, if KC wins the coin toss there would be a lot of complaints.

Buffalo beat the Chiefs though. That could be used as a tiebreaker, even if they're 13-3 and the Chiefs 14-3.

How about you un**** your drunk head out of your own ass and read the room dude?

A player just damned near died on the field, had to be revived by CPR and AED.

This is next-level shit going on that players and coaches are NOT accustomed to seeing.

We're talking about life and/or death here, not just a blown ACL.

I wouldn't have any desire to coach after seeing one of the players having to suffer through that.

None. At. All.
