While the NFL has not passed a blood rule exboyfil Aug 2015 #111

No official rule, but it happens. Deadshot Aug 2015 #113

So, the NFL is bleeding over itself. What specific illnesses has it led to? LanternWaste Aug 2015 #116

This story isn't about the NFL. Deadshot Aug 2015 #119

You're moving the goalposts. Either it's concern across the board or it's not. LanternWaste Aug 2015 #132

Bringing the NFL into this is the logical fallacy of appealling to hypocrisy. Deadshot Aug 2015 #137

NFL players purposefully stay on the field during play, hence your movement of goalposts. LanternWaste Aug 2015 #141

The OP is about a woman purposefully bleeding to prove something. Deadshot Aug 2015 #145
