Your whole premise is wrong and so the rest of your rant is also wrong.

"Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is in critical condition at a Cincinnati emergency room after he collapsed on the field and was given CPR in a frightening scene during the first quarter of Monday night’s game against the Bengals. The NFL later announced the game would be postponed and that Commissioner Roger Goodell made the decision."

It was Goodell, the Commissioner of the NFL and representative of the owners who made the decision. I am sure players and coaches had input, but Goodell made the call.

I only wish capitalism had played a bigger role in football when I played in the 60s and 70s.

The "business of football" has made it safer than when I played under the "non for profit" model of high school and college sports at a relatively small school university.

Football is a dangerous activity, like car racing, or just highway driving. Lucky for Hamlin, he suffered that extremely rare hit during a professional football game and not an amateur one. Thanks to capitalism, the resources to save his life where present, when it happened. Owners make sure talented medical professionals are on standby and they were there and saved Hamlin's life.

I read an interesting reaction by a cardiologist who went over what happened and he noted had Hamlin had this injury outside of professional football, it is unlikely he would have lived, the medical care he got was "perfect" under the circumstances and saved his life.

Football is a violent game. I know. I was a scholarship athlete and suffered injuries playing the game in high school and college. I discouraged my son from playing, since it is dangerous.

So, the issue has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with the dangers of football. If anything, capitalism has made the sport safer, if for no other reason, than owners are trying to protect the millions they have invested in their athletes.

You clearly have a bias against capitalism, but this is a poor example to illustrate your bias, since it was those "greedy" owners' representative that made the decision to suspend the game.

You are correct about one thing; it was a horrible tragedy. But I am almost certain, in the interest of protecting their investment, owners will try to determine if there is a way to avoid future injuries or whether it was a "freak accident' that just happened. There is "no profit" in a sport that experiences regular "heart breaking" traumas like what occurred to Damar Hamlin.
