For Nimmo, they probably realize he is at least Nimmo is a good player who they want in their lineup, so they're trying to get him in the lineup as much as they can. They have plenty to gain by having Nimmo in the lineup because they see him as a good player (he is... despite his struggles this year, which by the way are likely related to his neck, to some degree). They just don't care that they cause him risk of significant injury by continuing to have him play after he sustains an potentially serious neck injury. The thought process probably went like "eh, yeah he hurt his neck but it's probably not that bad, despite what the doctors say. He can tough it out, hes a tough kid. He needs to break out of his slump, keep playing him"

Ah I did not know that about him. I mean I know how much control he has of course I just didn't know about his bizarre opinion on injuries.

Yeah it's pretty known they have that organizational philosophy. I was trying to find an article where it's mentioned but it's hard because it's never the focal point of the article, it's always thrown in there, but yes, they definitely run with a very toxic mentality as it relates to "toughing it out"
