I want somebody here familiar with football and baseball to give us a list of maybe the past 20 noticeable injuries they've heard about this latest season.
And then I'm going to compare those injuries to the same in a horse. And see how many of those players would have to be euthanized if they were a horse.

The fatality rate in TB racing is two-tenths of one percent. That's 0.002
The reason some injuries are fatal is because of the obvious - horses are designed to walk 18 hours a day, not stand still for hours, not lay down for hours. How impotent-feeling and frustrating is that, to have to euthanize a horse for something repairable in many other species? An Olympic skier who dislocates an ankle and has a spiral fracture of the other leg on the downhill, doesn't have to be dead. People both in and out of the sport seem to fail to understand this.

 2. Not dissimilar to a not uncommon foaling complication, but not a really a racehorse thing
