The Way We Play The Game

I just read The Way We Play The Game. This article written by Karen Schneider is about Jack Jablonski, and his major injury of his spinal chord and how Karen and others feel about this topic. I can understand how she is nervous when anyone has anykind of physical contact. I would be as nervous as she is too if I had a kid in the game. I once played on a hockey team too, I wasn't nervous at all about anything happening to me, but if I still played and read this article after, I think I would be way more cautious about the way I played. I can't even imagine being in the situation that Jack or any of his family members or the young man who collided with him are in. Not being able to do anything for him to walk again, being his parents and witnessing him ask if he'll ever be able to play hockey again, must be so emotional for them. And being the young man that collided with him, he must feel so unbelievably bad, but if I were Jack I wouldn't want him to feel bad about it at all, I wouldn't want to put someone else in a bad situation too. My brother went down one time and didn't get up for about ten seconds which felt like five minutes, my brother finally got up and my dad was so relieved but still concerned. I know understand why he was so concerned. On another note the of way writing in this article was amazing, I could literally picture everything that was being said and told.
