    Because you’ll try to just “walk off” a serious muscle injury that needs rest and fuck your shit for life. Especially at that level with the amount of physical force those dudes produce.

      Yeah but if someone worth tens of millions of dollars gets permanently injured, tens of millions of dollars have been lost, maybe more for the team. If a kid worth $0 gets permanently injured, there is another one on the bench, and the team has lost nothing.

          There is no one who is worth nothing, money doesn’t decide the value of a person. Granted yes, the team wasn’t playing for profit most likely, so to the team, there is no gain from them getting injured but a plastic trophy and memories.
