In case you needed a reminder of just how violent a sport football is, there was a terrible injury during the Vikings-Cardinals game last night. EJ Henderson of the Vikings fractured his femur when a teammate collided with him, resulting in a compressive and torsional force greater than the strength of his femur. Football players have gotten very strong and very fast, and the combination of these two variables leads to large forces during such collisions and often leads to injury. Hopefully he will be able to make a full recovery and return to action next season.
