Their businesses don’t shut down, their employers don’t send everyone home, the world doesn’t stop. Why is this one so special? Just wondering…
1. He's only 24 years old, not 64
2. It was witnessed by millions on tv
3. The serious injuries in football has been a public issue for several years
4. lots of familes have kids who are playing football

That enough?
