Via @RapSheet, Bridgewater’s “gruesome” knee injury had Vikings players disturbed and horrified, even throwing up on the field.

This has nothing to do with me wanting to see a professional athlete incur an injury so brutal that it had grown men that witness horrific, stomach churning violence on a week-to-week basis leaving their breakfast on the field. I certainly wouldn't derive any pleasure from watching a player whither around on the ground in agony after contorting their knee in such a way that the biggest, baddest human beings on the planet turned into college freshman that have yet to learn their bottom shelf liquor limits.

That said...I have to see it. If the general consensus is that I absolutely shouldn't then it's my duty as a sports fan to lay witness to every skin-piercing break, bone chilling fracture, and jaw dropping tear. Shame on the people reporting this without providing video. I know that it would seem disingenuous to collect favorites, retweets, and shares from a tragedy, but it's a tragedy that would remind us that us that the game we invest so much time, emotion, and gluttony into is essentially no different than hunting humans for sport. We benefit from the beauty of the one handed grabs, effortless jukes, and earth shattering hits so - in turn - we should have to have our guts bubbled by the carnage that comes as an unwanted result. It's not out of amusement, but necessity. Plus, it would make 'The Sporting News' feel pretty awful about the timing of their posts...
