As it should be. Player safety is the number one priority for the NBA and NBA Players Association. There is no NBA without the best players in the world. We must do our best to ensure that the safety of our players is ensured. However, the league can do much better on this front. We have seen some of our star in recent years suffer major injuries. Unfortunate injuries to some of our league’s brightest, some of which include stars like Derrick Rose, Paul George, Kobe Bryant, Kyrie Irving and many, many more players. Now of course, injuries are a natural part of sports, but this beckons many questions for the NBA regarding injury policies and prevention. This could bring up some substantial questions such as, “are the players being overworked?” Which can lead to the question, “are there too many NBA games?” Other issues could include the space between the cameramen and the court, or courtside seats and the court, medical staff issues, concussion policies, etc. No stone should be left unturned when it comes to these issues. It is your job as the players to gather any issues you have with the current system in regards to your safety in the

Generally people think that the NFL should adjust the game, and its rules to increase player safety, statistics clearly show that too much adjusting has been done and the NFL is suffering because of it. Too many rules have been changed for player safety and the current changes being discussed, like getting rid of the kickoff, are going to far and the game is not like it was. Players sign contracts and are aware of the risks they put themselves at when playing the game of football at a professional level. Referees are throwing more flags and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, is handing out a record high of fines. These adjustments by the National Football League are going too far and some rule changes need to be reverted back to their previous rules.
