Read the opening paragraphs from two articles about

the same news story.

Paragraph 1:

Santiago Lopez, a retired Professional Football
League quarterback for the San Diego Waves, has
publicly accused his former employers of negligence.
While he played on the team, he sustained two severe
knee injuries. Both injunes were to the right knee and
happened within six months of each other. According
to Lopez, the league knew of the seriousness of the
injunes, but required him to continue to play instead of
allowing him to recuperate properly. He continues by
saying, "I made a commitment to the league, the
Waves, and the fans, and I wanted to fulfill that, but
not at the cost of my career. If I had been allowed to
heal properly, I believe that I could still be playing
today." League officials have declined to comment.
