That is terrible. If Bates decided to do that on his own, the team and coach are responsible as well? Crazy bullshit by the league.

Bates, like many players, is hyper tuned to his body. That’s his money maker as an athlete. If he thinks he’s seriously hurt he’s going to lay down. Could he have powered up to his feet? I guess. I d have to watch the replay. I’ve torn shit just by running before. It sucks.
