#i'd feel more lenient but if you actually watch football you KNOW the tackle was a normal kind. almost benignly so

damar had the breathing tube for his ventilator removed and is 100% breathing on his own!!!!! :') i am SO relieved and amazed by his recovery so far..... just miraculous
#IM JUST SO RELIEVED...... football can definitely be dangerous but there has NEVER been anything like this#it shook the whole fucking country. i know ppl are pessimistic about how little impact this might have long term but i really dont think so#the nfl would probably LIKE IT to have little impact but everyone else involved has made it abundantly clear we wont allow that#and. maybe im just being dismissive. but it feels so tone deaf to be pushing agendas right now#ive seen anti vaxxers and racists and god knows what else throw in their two cents#ppl talking about the dangers of the game (which IS a discussion that needs to be had) over something that has NEVER HAPPENED IN FOOTBALL#and HAS happened in soccer and hockey like. listen to me. football is by no means a 100% safe game but this incident is NOT more likely in#it than other sports. and i think to suggest this is purely a risk in football when this is the first time its happened AND has happened in#other sports in. disingenuous. the discussion DOES need to be had but there's no point exaggerating what happened. you know?#it just feels so 'aha! a chance to make my arguments!' like!! a guy almost died! can you sit down for five minutes!#i'd feel more lenient but if you actually watch football you KNOW the tackle was a normal kind. almost benignly so#there are such worse plays that happen both in football AND other sports.#god ok anyway. tangent. sick to death of ppl derailing for these things.#i dont have to explain why anti vax or racist agendas dont deserve the light of day but this one's difficult if you dont watch a lotta fb#and it's like. it's relevant? but some of the posts i've seen are grossly exaggerating details and it feels less like#someone making a good faith post. and more like ppl taking a fucking tragedy and going 'i TOLD you!'#yoshi talks
