I never once stated that, there's a pretty stark distinction between forcing people to play and allowing them to. Would you care to correct your continued reading comprehension failure or can we just wrap this up?
B. Attempted to delegitimize my opinion entirely by accusing me of "White Knighting" for imaginary internet points, which, voila, you are also continuing to do
Take a look back at your posts. You say not forced then you talk about nefarious billion dollar corporations caring more about their bottom line. I'm not the only one that was confused by your point, as evidenced by other responses to you. You still haven't said you want to happen to apparently save these athletes from themselves then, and the supposed longterm damage that we'll look back on like CTE, even though there is next to no examples of it.

I countered your opinion, if you want to call that delegitimize so be it, it was a paper thin "argument" in the first place. And white knighting is a term to describe someone inserting themself into a situation for someone or something that doesn't involve them and didn't need defending. I think that definition is perfectly apt here.

Ya, I'd say we're all wrapped up here.
