Honestly though they're playing sports.. of course there's a desire to win, and of course there's a possibility of getting injured.

None of these activities can be more dangerous than making these idols work for days on end with no time off and making them sleep only 2-3 hours a nite. How many driving accidents have there been in the last year with idols that occurred late at night after an extremely long day of events? I am not worried about an idol running a 50 yard dash more than this.
