Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm watching the Chiefs/Houston game. JJ Watt suffered a severe knee injury and had to be carted off the field, which is understandably a huge loss to the team worthy of some coverage. But do they have to broadcast loading him into an ambulance for a ride to the hospital? Seems to me that's a private moment that the public isn't entitled to see.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Loading into the ambulance doesn’t bother me. Showing the bone breaking hit from 10 angles is ghoulish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead Friend, SASS #53635 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Dave Dravecky was a pitcher for the Giants back in the late 80s. He got cancer his throwing arm. I don't remember all the details but after extensive treatment he worked his way back. A few games into his comeback he threw so hard he broke the humerus on a pitch in the middle of the game. In a full stadium the snap was deafening. The local news played that tape over and over and over again. I'll never forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've seen such hits too many times when working high school football games as a paramedic. Don't need to see it on the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Same same the guy who broke is ankle on Sunday. I think keeping the camera on a guy hurting so bad he is in tears is cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Since we have stopped watching the NFL in my house I've been spared that gruesome sight. Maybe next year, but not watching the overpaid whinies hasn't bothered me as much as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'd forgotten about Theisman. Wow that was just awful. I didn't see the game where Beckham broke his ankle and was carted off. But they sure showed it a lot as a "highlight" during Chiefs & Texans. I think the whole thing is cruel.
