Kinda tempers the enjoyment of the sport, like CTE.

That’s life in general. It’s completely asinine to think that this is isolated to pro football. You as an employee/business owner/coach/player have every right to close up shop at 5 pm every day or only put in work during team hours. The sad truth is that there’s someone else out there working harder and longer than you. If you don’t put in the work, don’t complain when you can’t put food on the table.
Reid’s been married 37 years and from what the article says, it hardly sounds like he “abandoned” his family. I’m sure there are a lot of marriages with impeccable work-life balances that couldn’t sniff that amount of longevity. He did everything he could to push his kids in the right direction. Addicts are their own beast, I’m glad he was able to help Britt find a path. I just find it hard to judge a man whose been through the shit that Andy Reid has.
Just my opinion, I’m sure there will be a large amount of disagreement simply based off of upbringing and personal values.
