Honestly, I’m baffled by this. I’ve been watching this sport for coming up to twenty years. And whilst these sorts of injuries are rare, they do happen.

An arrest for manslaughter actually means there was no intent. Intent would change it to murder.
It only means there was no intent to murder. If there was intent to do harm, but that harm results in death, it would fall under manslaughter.
It could also be the case that it’s just deemed to be grossly negligent or reckless behaviour, but that seems much harder to pin down, especially in a professional sports setting.
