Hamilton: Football’s Danger Justifies Personal Sacrifice as 20-Game Era Looms
Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton says football is a dangerous, collision-heavy sport and would sacrifice a future family’s involvement to protect them, while acknowledging the NFL is moving toward a 20-game regular season within the next decade; he cites recent ALS/CTE concerns and the deaths of figures like Damar Hamlin and O.J. Brigance in weighing whether kids should play, and muses about rule changes (two 45-minute halves, shorter play clocks) that could stretch the schedule, noting the NFLPA’s limited power to derail such expansion.
