isnt it also in their standard of "bringing light to terribly true things" by making satire of it?

If they see this as "making fun of disabilities" - that might be more on them.

Dude hasn't gotten brain damage from an accident or born with it. He's gotten repeated brain damage to entertain millions of people in a game.

I think "bringing light to terribly true things" is an appropriate description for referencing the detrimental medical effects of professional football on the players.
