Football is one of the world’s most popular sports, but also perhaps the most dangerous. Injuries can happen at any time and any place, as Pittsburgh Steelers fans know all too well. Every Black and Gold fan is familiar with the story of Ryan Shazier, a promising young linebacker for the Steelers whose football career ended as a result of a tragic on-field spinal injury in Cincinnati. At the time, most people were less worried about Shazier returning to football and more concerned with him potentially never walking again. It was a terrible incident that thankfully ended happily, with Shazier regaining the use of his legs.
