The world of sports is filled with injuries, some longer than others. Mikkel Kessler today just announced his absence from active competition because of an eye injury that will keep him on the bench for 9 months. A Danish sports journalist said that Kessler's injury has put him in the position that it could very well hurt his potential to make it in the Danish sports history books.
And I'm sure he's not the only one that have faced these kind of injuries. An injury that have put someone on the bench while they were on a roll, at a time where they had potential to go further, and make a name for themselves in the record books.
Now what I'm really wondering is, how can a temporary, basically non career threatening injury become anything remotely close to career damaging in the way that your chances of going down in history is actually ruined?
Seems pretty drastic to me. I mean I'm sure Kessler with a triumphant return or something like that could very well go down in history. I'm also sure that applies to pretty much any sport.
Am I the only one that thinks that no temporary injury could be so damaging to one's career that their previous potential to go into the record books is completely ruined?
