Yeah, it would be pretty bad, and the talking heads would obviously make it into a witch hunt, which is exactly what it would be. The reason I say that is because there have been two similar incidents in the recent past in mainstream sports, and while they got some attention, neither the NBA nor the NFL were demonized because of it.
The NBA one was Shawn Livingston last year:
YouTube - Knee Dislocation
And the NFL one was a while ago, but it did happen on Monday Night Football on ABC. That was Napoleon McCallum, and I was watching that sucker live!:
I guess what I'm saying is this isn't without precedent, but if it happened in an MMA fight, it would likely set the sport back a decade or something
