Football injuries are far too common. I had a friend who played football for the Colorado Buffaloes and appeared to have some potential (tight end). Blew his knee out his second year and it was all over.

Yeah, a broken neck is pretty much impossible to recover from. Sure you can play, but you get hit hard, you might be paralyzed for life. Not really worth the risk.
Knees were my downfall too. I had 5 surgeries in 1 year and still had to call it quits. To this day I still have ligaments torn and no cartilage.

It's funny though, as when they lose the raiders fan's turn their black and silver shirts inside out to hide that they are fans.

I hate people like that that call themselves fans. They are NOT fans. What you encountered was a piece of $h!t just looking to start trouble. I'm sorry you even had to deal with people like that. Most Raiders' fans are cool. They'll take turns buying rounds of beers, tickets and snacks. You just gotta find the REAL fans.

EXACTLY. They just show up b/c they like the logo and think they're some badazzes.
