Some people's capacity for empathy and guilt stems from the superficiality of their thought process. I totally agree with Stupac2 and also agree that the sports world as a whole should continue to do everything they can to reduce/eliminate the lifetime impacts of some of these injuries. I think the attitude that we should not support athletics because some people get hurt - sometimes badly - is the kind of thinking that gave rise to the phrase about babies and bath water.
"It's not what you don't know that gets you in trouble. It's what you think you know that just isn't so."
Mark Twain
