A comment on I’m the Wife of a Former N.F.L. Player. Football Destroyed His Mind. Parent comment

How does fixing work safety issues to banning alcohol? This looks like a slippery slope argument.

There are many options to take a sensible position somewhere between the extremes.

Where do you see the words “work safety “ anywhere in the comment I’m responding to?

Nowhere, but the grandparent comment literally contains the phrase "workplace safety" and talks about OSHA. This entire comment chain is about people having agency to choose a highly dangerous profession in exchange for good compensation.

Yes, exactly, and I think the grandparent OSHA argument has merit, however, the parent comment completely distorted it into a case for big brother - which I do not believe has any merit.
