The NFL's "Cardiovascular Committee" is mulling over the idea of requiring all NFL players to have echocardiograms when they enter the league, as a way to screen for abnormalities such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (which Adam Gaines is presumed to have died from).
It's fascinating to see how sports leagues address the health of their players, particularly in football, where young men are part of one of the world's most finely-tuned and closely-watched experiments in traumatic injuries.
It's also a little grotesque.
