Best wishes for the family and friends.

I expected this in Arena Football, though. Stupidest sport going, in my opinion.

I agree. I like football in general, but can't bring myself to sit through an Arena game. It just seems to me to be more XFL than NFL, but without the (almost naked) cheerleaders.

Why? In what ways is Arena Football inherently more dangerous than NFL football? I know in Arena football, most of the players play both offense and defense, so they're exposed to more plays, and theoretically could become more fatigued. Anything else?

I started watching half way through the season two years ago and I must admit I'm hooked.

It's fast and exciting to watch IMO but I do acknowledge that the sport is much more dangerous than the NFL.

Three weeks ago, I saw a player fall chin first into the top of the boards and his head snapped back like nobodies business. I almost couldn't believe that he was still playing after that.
