Because they’re grown adults weighing 75-150kg depending on the sport and position, with strength and conditioning to match, and you don’t want to shatter your knee just so you can make a single play in a single game, but end your career (remember that bit about how much they’re paid, and how much the team paid for them?)

    Basically, pro athletes cost the team dearly, but you didn’t cost your coach a cent.

    You get what you pay for.

    Pay a little money, get a little quality. Pay a LOT of money, get high quality.

    Well your coach didn't have to pay anything, so fuck you and your body! He's only coaching high school football.

    Whereas NFL coaches have to pay their athletes millions of dollars, and expect high returns on long term winning.

    Unless you're Kevin Stefanski. In which case you coach The Browns. And no one expects The Browns to win....
