Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger weighed in on the shocking Luck decision. He said, “All the fans who booed Andrew Luck are disgusting and have no respect for other people’s bodies.”

There were other similar statement. Nobody agrees with Colts fans.

“Fans… we are human. I know you love your teams, but try to understand someone’s story. I feel bad for Andrew Luck who’s done more than any of us can imagine to get healthy, getting booed at his home crowd.”

Luck had an emotional press conference, and said the boos “hurt” him.

“It’s been four years of this injury-pain rehab cycle, I can’t live the life I want to live moving forward … I feel quite exhausted and quite tired,” Luck said. “I know I am unable to pour my heart and soul into this position … and it’s sad, but I also have a lot of clarity in this.

“This is not an easy decision. Honestly it’s the hardest decision of my life. But it is the right decision for me. I’ve been stuck in this process. I haven’t been able to live the life I want to live. Taken the joy out of this game and after 2016 when I played in pain and was unable to regularly practice, I made a vow to myself that I would never go down that path again. I find myself in a similar situation and the only way for me is to remove myself from football and this cycle I’ve been in. I’ve come to the proverbial fork in the road and I made the vow to myself that if I ever entered this situation again, I would choose the innocence. 

“My wife and I are so proud when people ask us where we’re from. We say Indianapolis … I want to thank football for so many moments in my life. It’s the greatest team sport in the world.”
