Rooting for an athlete to overcome an injury can be a heartwarming moment for everyone. But pushing an athlete to their physical limits can be life-threatening, if not life-ending. The NFL and the Miami Dolphins should be ashamed of possibly prematurely ending the career of a phenomenal quarterback by avoiding concussion protocols.
