Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues?

  Yeah but if someone worth tens of millions if dollars gets permanently injured, tens of millions of dollars have been lost, maybe more for the team. If a kid worth $0 gets permanently injured, there is another one on the bench, and the team has lost nothing.

    Is it /s though? I feel like that’s the reason.

      There is no one who is worth nothing, money doesn’t decide the value of a person. Granted yes, the team wasn’t playing for profit most likely, so to the team, there is no gain from them getting injured but a plastic trophy and memories.
