Even the mightiest of us cannot escape the reality of the human body. These athletes, ranging from soccer to basketball to football stars, have once enjoyed the best of athletic success.. Fame, wealth, power, and freedom all promote the exciting yet horrific world of professional sports. “Push through the pain!” and “Just go for it!” can all describe the aggressive nature of the modern sports era.
In a society that promotes combative sports, these athletes unfortunately suffered some of the worst sports injuries the world has ever seen. Some athletes have recovered. Others have been forced to depressingly leave their lives, careers, family, friends, and memories, all on the field… literally.
