I wonder if major league sports are aware about this effect? Is that why some of their star players have injuries so often? I don’t follow sports at all, but star players becoming injured is a news item that sort leaks into more general news to the point of being cliché.
- brokenmachine 7y agoDo star players get injured more than lesser players? I would think that all athletes get injured pretty often, but people are just more aware of it when it's a star player.
