Safety is of the utmost importance in contact sports. One wrong move and you can find yourself in the hospital.

When in-state rivals Central Michigan and Western Michigan faced off on Saturday, you expected normal “MAC-tion”, plenty of trick plays and some high scoring offense. That was all put off to the side when Western Michigan wide receiver, Carrington Thompson collapsed on the field after getting up from a stunning hit.

Upon video review, they deemed the hit legal. Thompson immediately went to the locker room and did not return to the game. The moment, while scary, only brings up more questions for football players. When does sacrificing your body for the game go too far?
