If I dedicate time and effort and decide to search through the internet compiling a list of Football players who have gotten their lifespan drastically shortened, it would still be 'proportianally longer' than a similar gridiron list.

Most NFL players shorten their lifes due to 'high risk lifestyles'. There seem to be a disproportionate amount of murders, car accidents, drinking, drug use etc., compared to the average population. It is very unfortunate.

You're right about the "you have to putyourself in an unhealthy condition just to play. (How big you get.)" part.
The focus on 'building up' the thorax and abdomen with fat and muscles, causes long term problems when the players are unable to 'alter' their bodies back to normal after they finish their professional careers. It's a sad thing to see all the fat slobs in interviews. How people choose to live their lives after ending their NFL careers does not relate to how dangerous it is playing the game.
I'm looking forward to continuing this discussion. Bye bye for now..
