There has never been an injury taken place on a football field that generated a positive reaction from me. I don’t care who the teams are or who the player is. I hate to see people get injured. Now, I’m not a stranger to appreciating a big hit and seeing a guy get hurt—that is, he’ll be sore for the next week.
Every injury is unfortunate, and I wish they could all be avoided entirely. But an injury occurring on a play does not affect the legality or intentions of the play itself. And so on these grounds, I have to call bullshit on the reaction from Cleveland Browns players yesterday to their teammate, Anthony Walker Jr.
