Scientific
While I am not aware of research that compares the rate of injury between Black and white football players, heatstrokes, ACL and labrum tears, ankle sprains, bone breaks, and concussions are just a few of the consequences of how these bodies are used.
Oh...perhaps you're not aware of it because it doesn't exist?
But wait! There's more!
No football athlete deserves this treatment. They should not be expected to play after enduring, experiencing and witnessing bodily traumas. Further, to dismiss the almost certain breaking down of their bodies as just part of the game is a process of objectification and commodification that prioritizes the player over the person in a way that Black feminist scholar bell hooks says calls to mind “the history of slavery and the plantation economy.” The anti-Blackness of the system is inescapable.

She just keeps beating the same drum. Over and over and over. “Do you get it yet? do you?”. Greta with degrees.

But as far as the adjustments, I think the NFL picked the least bad alternative.
I disagree, vehemently.
The problem is that they made a choice, period. There was no need. There are regulations and procedures laid out to cover this.
-
Monday evening ask Buffalo if they are able and willing to continue. Ask Cincinnati if they are able and willing. If one side is and the other side isn’t, then it’s a forfeiture. And that’s okay. In these type of situations it’s understandable.
-
If both sides are unable or unwilling to continue, that’s fine and understandable as well. Is there a reasonable way to make up the game? If not, eliminate the game and go with winning percentages.
And it stops right there. No neutral site adjustments, no coin tosses. These are the tules that they have set up in their system. This wasn’t known until Thursday evening when the Bengals staff brought it up, but once it was public, all conversation and concerns should have come to a close. Like it or not, these are the rules.

How To Find Success in Six Steps:
-
Decide to believe something. Believe it really hard, with all your might.
-
Study it in school so you can believe it even harder. Accept no contradictions.
-
Interview a lot of people who believe the thing happened to them. Be careful to exclude people who haven't experienced it, and who look at you funny when you bring it up. Clearly they are hopelessly indoctrinated and will wreck your conclusions.
-
Write a book geared toward people who already believe what you believe. Use big words like ethnographic so they'll know you're all smart and everything.
-
Importantly, include a colon in your book's title. That will go a long way toward classifying your book as "scholarly".

And, allow me a minute's rant on "Professors."
In her CV:
One unpublished book.
Four publications, only one published, another accpeted, the other two "under review."
This is what it takes to become an "assistant professor" at Duke?
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

When entire disciplines are hand-waved, I don't see how it matters whether an academic is or is not published.

From SI.com: "Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, . . . has a contract that contains a standard "split'' clause designed to pay him at a lower rate.
"But in light of his situation, the four-year $3.64 million agreement has been subjected to an adjustment, so despite the fact that he was placed on IR this week, Buffalo has (per NFL Network) worked out an agreement with the NFL and NFLPA to pay him in full.
"The gesture is a continuation of the outpouring of love in the direction of Hamlin, 24, who posted to Instagram on Saturday as he continues to recover in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center."
I'm all about Damar all the time, but wuut's love got to do with it?

I suspect the NFL may wave his cap hit.

There were some signs at Paycor Stadium yesterday less than complimentary about the NFL and Goodell. The NFL made them take 'em down. Bad move.

CNN: "Damar Hamlin is back in Buffalo, New York, at a local hospital after being released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center Monday.
He tweeted his love for those who rallied around him over the course of his injury:
Headed home to Buffalo today with a lot of love on my heart. 🫶
Watching the world come together around me on Sunday was truly an amazing feeling.
The same love you all have shown me is the same love that I plan to put back into the world n more.
Bigger than football!"
