This is what the NFL is, and we want

Tua was also involved in the project.

That is the most frustrating thing about Tua Tagovailoa's injury. Anger can't be directed at anyone just out into the air. On Sunday, we went over this. It was obvious that Tagovailoa had suffered a brain injury when he stumbled around the field. You were aware of it. I was aware of it. All of us knew it.

Tua came back in the game. You would like to know why. I wanted to know why, we all wanted to know why, including the NFL PA who opened an investigation into the why.

Everyone had a story ready to be told. There was a story ready to be told. His back was where it mattered the most. Tua told everyone he had a problem with his back. Everyone received what they wanted. The quarterback returned to the field. Tua has to be in the game. The Dolphins beat the Super Bowl favorite to go 2-0. Tua was being protected from himself by the Dolphins. Everyone wants that, and yet we are. The media was dependent on its NFL access to lead the charge. Adam has a cell phone for that.

It's dangerous to have a second concussion in a short period of time. It's no longer a secret. The consequences of Tua returning to the field too soon were warned by Chris Nowinski.

The players, medical staff, and coaches are not in the public eye anymore. They used to keep it under wraps because they were afraid that people would turn away from football if they knew the consequences. They would conclude that the sport was too barbaric to tolerate anymore.

It became public how damaging football is. All of us know. Every player knows what they are doing. They're aware. What is the highest-rated program on a weekly basis? Would it happen every year? The game is a football game. Someone turned away. Money is not gone. Advertisers want to be a part of the show. Where is the motivation to change anything?

Tua went into the fencing response on national TV and replayed it over and over again.

Tua was where he wanted to be. He was where the coaching staff wanted him to be. The fans wanted him to be in that area. Fantasy owners wanted him to be in that area.

Tua was able to move all of his limbs, according to the Dolphins.

A lot of players on the football team feel like they have no choice. When a starter becomes a starter, coaches and front offices look to replace him with someone younger and cheaper. Everyone on the team knows that the pressure is on. The thread of the next play is keeping their dream alive.

But a starter? An exciting one who looks to be the anchor of a franchise for a long time? He can say he doesn't want to be out there. He will see the entire picture. It isn't to blame him. He should have been held out on Sunday. He shouldn't have been allowed on the plane. They may have lied to him. The cover story was given to him to tell the press. Tua could have passed away on Thursday. It wasn't impossible. Everyone on the team wanted him to play. They might get fired or sued. New hires will be made. The same thing will be done by them.

Who is actually requesting change? The NFL keeps printing money from our patronage. If Tua had died on the field, that wouldn't have mattered. Where's the motivation?

Tua may have known what the deal was on Sunday and Thursday. The medical team should have known better and the coaches should have known better. Those dominoes keep on moving. Why would the National Football League care when the money keeps flowing? There's no pressure if there's no pressure from the top.

Now is the time to play football. Everyone inside the lines knows what's happening. This is how it will go on. It is too large to fail, no matter how many lives it ruins.
