The fact that it’s football (a sport where playing full speed will inevitably result in injuries every single time) is why I have the opinion on this I do.
And the logic behind my opinion is really no different than the logic Reid uses to bench his starters in meaningless week 17 games, so the fact that it has struck such a chord here is an odd thing indeed.
