Hines Ward waltzed (well, technically he samba-ed) away with the sought after Mirror Ball Trophy to end Season 12 of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday evening.

No one bats an eye at the reality that 3.7 gamers per group were injured each week in 2011. Numerous gamers are paid well. But consider this: the average NFL gamer lasts 3 years in the league and never ever prospers. Rather, they take numerous blows to their heads and body that will stick with them for life. It is the owners, the ones watching from their luxury boxes, that profit the biggest on the backs (literally-and knees, shoulders, heads, brains) of the players they use.
