Football players playing through injury have provided some of the most inspiring moments in sports.

So a player breaking a leg or tearing every ligament in their knee doesn't count as dangerous injury? I think that given the speed of the game, it is not possible to make the game 100% safe. However, that shouldn't stop the league from preventing morons like James Harrison from tackling players head first.
