I Have a really hard time feeling sorry for players who get concussions and stuff.
I had a buddy that bounced around as a camp body for a few teams, and dressed for a dozen or so regular season games and these guys live the life. Amazing food, top notch medical care, incredible facilities and people to do stuff for you. He could not believe how lucky he was.
On top of that he was making like 10 times the average median salary in the country.
Tough to feel bad for guys in that position. Regardless of the ailments they might face down the road
Can you show me where Borland is asking us to feel sorry for him? If anything it is the opposite, he is making the decision now so no one will ever have to n feel sorry for him.
