I read that tragically, Japanese women at some point in the war ran like herds off of cliffs because of what they were told the Americans would do to them.

Not so tragically, the NFL players are doing the same thing.

And financial death awaits at the bottom.

That was on the island of Saipan. 8000 of them did that.

Also known as Laderan Banadero, it is a location where thousands of Japanese civilians and soldiers committed suicide by jumping to their deaths in 1944 in order to avoid capture by the United States, as Japanese propaganda emphasized brutal treatment of Japanese such as American mutilation of Japanese war dead. Many Japanese feared the 'American devils raping and devouring Japanese women and children.'[2] The precise number of suicides there is not known, but has been estimated at around 8,000 deaths.[3] A contemporary correspondent, praising their actions as 'the finest act of the Shōwa period', described them as 'the pride of Japanese women.'[4]
