Understood but unfortunately society seems to like to make decisions based on emotion lately. I would be willing to bet an electrician is much more “putting his life on the line” to do his job than a NFL football player is and at the end of the day society actually needs electricians.

Absolutely. Linemen get killed on the job way more often than football players. So do plant workers, police, military, farmers, etc.

I’m 32 years old. I have personally known over a dozen farmers/farmhands killed on the job. And these men didn’t make much money.

Since 1970, 1 NFL player has died on the field.

Not taking away from the tragedy yesterday, but people need to put things in perspective. Freak accidents happen in life
