Some Guys Don't Know When to Let Go

They used to make movies about this: ex-high-school athletes suiting up to play full-tackle football.

I don't see a massive deal with it, you see guys playing rugby into their late 30s and early 40s if they are fit enough, AF is a physically more enduring sport probably, i.e the impact is a lot harder, but I don't see a problem with it, guys do it here for free, they love the game. Same reason why people play soccer until that age, or even just a 5 a side kickabout, they love the game.
