Lol, I guess you don’t know that collegiate football back in the early 20th century was considered so violent, there were threats to ban it.

Regardless, your working-class hero take on manhood is rather silly.

In1904 18 mostly preppy boys trying to be “men” died from football injuries. it was nearly banned but Teddy Roosevelt intervened and urged the introduction of reforms making the game somewhat safer. Now it doesn’t kill too many kids, it just gives them brain damage later on.
