NFL Game Day Roster Limits
I've never understood why the NFL has 53 men rosters, yet only 45 can suit up for games. It doesn't make sense. And of the 45 dressed, 3 are considered specialists. Kickers, punters and long snappers who have very important jobs, but are not they are not exactly getting the crap beat out of them when they're in the game. In fact the Long snappers can't even get jacked up anymore. There is a rule to protect them from getting "canned". (Players can no longer hit the Long snapper while he's snapping the ball) This means they're are only 42 player left that can be involved in the more physical nature of the game. Since there are so many collisions, at least a couple of players are injured during games, which further limits teams. This also means 15 percent of the roster is getting paid, but not playing. That's a great deal for those who are not playing, no wear and tear on their bodies, and a healthy paycheck. But it's terrible for the players who are playing, and the coaches too.
I don't know how, or when 45 became the agreed amount to to suit up, but my guess it was probably in the 1960's when teams and players did not make a fraction of the money that they make today. The game was extremly rough back then, I wasn't around to watch, but from watching old clips on NFL films, head hunting and late hits were legal, or the referees never bothered to read that far in the rule book. Todays players are bigger, stronger, and faster, so in turn the collisons are much more violent. The entire roster needs to be activated so as to "even out" the collisions.
Also with the roster limitations, teams often have valuable starters on special teams like kickoffs, punt returns teams. Field goal and extras point teams is the only part of the games that does not involve running into each other at high rates of speed. In fact you can put drunk fans on those teams and they would be safe, all they do is snap, kick and watch. Its the kick offs and punts are often where the high speed collisions take place. This further puts fatigued starters at risk. Having a full 53 to play can only help the game in the long run, extend careers and make owners more money. I'm shocked the owners have not figured this out. The NFL players union contract is expiring after this year. Hopefully the owners will take a look at this roster flaw.
The NFL is the only organziation where it's employees are paid lots of money, encouraged to beat the snot out of each other, while 15 percent players of it's players, sits in the stands for free, eating hamburgers, drinking beer and getting a paycheck. Being part of the 15 percent is a great job.
If you ask the average man, or women who works at "regular" job". If the owner or manager of your company said, " We're going to sit you down this week, but you're getting paid full salary. Are you okay with that?" The answers will always be "H.... yes."
