So what's the line to cross from a player being able to play versus being sidelined? Players get injured and miss time every year, so the notion that teams are forcing injured players to play against their wishes is patently false.
Why do you get to make the 'sit them for injury' criteria verus paid professionals?
It honestly seems like an aimless attempt to "white knight" player safety and show how more thoughtful you are, being concerned about player safety more than the heartless billion dollar organizations that constantly force their players to play injured, which again is not the case. The player has a lot of weight in that decision.
Keeping players out of the lineup with LTIR can help the team come playoffs. Forcing an injured player to play against their wishes is the exact opposite so that's a moot point.
Fans shouldn't decide when players are shelved for injuries, and their isn't some malicious corporation forcing players to play to the detriment of their longterm health, especially not even close to same manner as CTE and related needed to be addressed.
