I didn't move the goal posts, you did.
Your generalization of gardening and what I posted takes actual effort. But keep on moving them. Yeah, because millionaires don't do things after retirement. Please!!!!
You have a sick sense to single out a single occupation as the most susceptible.
Dude...Blood clots are dangerous for "EVERYONE" in any situation.
Let me tell how hard my uncle was working sitting at his desk who had died of a brain aneurysm. So spare me your hockey players are more prone.
The common man is more prone because they are less likely to go get looked at, and if you read Dupuis's article, that's the exact mentality a grunt would do. Push on. He thought he had a broken rib. Something most of you just pass over.
Next I guess you'll try to paint playing hockey is one of the most dangerous jobs.
I could easily show you jobs where you don't wear all that padding and helmets that are just as susceptible to injuries and clots.
The painting of hockey players are above all else is sickening.
The way you speak of the matter tells me you don't.
Save your drama and self importance. You are the one who tried to judge me, and others based on our opinion and twist it into something else. Now you are twisting things into hockey players being more important than the avg Joe?
Seriously where do you come up with this nonsense?
You trying to bring your uncle into this conversation and other avg Joes compared to Dupuis is ridiculous as hell. It's merely a deflection from your original ignorant post, nothing more.
Dupuis had two blood clots within 10 months of each other
due to playing pro hockey.
This is entirely about a pro hockey player making a decision to keep playing the game and putting his life at risk, needlessly. A hockey player who hid his symptoms and admitted he is prone to doing it again because he wants to keep playing.
Do you not get that? Apparently not because you have twisted things so far away from the original argument it's ridiculous.
Once again, the root cause of his blood clots came from playing this violent sport. Not from gardening. Not from manual labor.
The risk to his health dramatically increases by playing the game. It's common sense. That's exactly why TV retired.
