Hurting vs Injury, who's hurting who?

Just words? Or are the teams playing each other like political competitors? Interest should be paid to the word used on Monday. If we see that the halfback is injured, we assume he is going to be sitting out for a while. If we see that the halfback is hurt, we are lead to believe that he may be back this week. How does that change the game planning and prep for the week? Your mobile QB may be in the game. This means your team is prepping with a spy on D, rather than working on a base defense.

Does it always have to be so secretive? Why can't the injury just be listed truthfully? Is that secrecy gaining such a big advantage? That is the value of a win. And on that note, at what point is a player working through pain hurting his team? Who makes that decision? At what point is the player hurting themselves? Is it really worth a guy killing himself, if he can barely walk 2 years after his retirement? I guess what I am asking is, where is someone to watch the teams? That's where the commissioner needs to step in next.

It may seem simple, it may be wrong, but if a team is willing to hire lip readers... why would they leave something as simple as the English language up to chance. Why would they?

This has been a matter of fact.
