[Durus]

My assertion doesn't lead to a logical conclusion that I have brain damage. Doubtless you think you are being clever, regardless, I have participated in enough sports that I still have nagging injuries, but no regrets. I think sports and physical fitness are very important for both Children and adults. If people want to participate in sports, even crippling sports, that is their prerogative.

That is a far cry from people complaining that their favorite sport to watch might be made safer and reduce their entertainment. Those people that dedicate a disproportionate amount of their lives watching others participate in sports and then have the gall to complain need to get off the couch and go play instead. They can play any and all sports just the way they want without any interference from a ruling body.

[Common Sense 101]

Your assertion is "damaged". First of all, people have the right to "dedicate" as much time as they want watching sports, regardless of your elitist proclamation that they should spend their time "off the couch."

Secondly, the equipment, training, and medical treatments for these players is exponentially better than it was 30 years ago... an accidental coincidence? Or is it more likely that the "marketplace" (or league) sought to improve player conditions and safety. No liberals, no government edict, no liberal pansies were required to make those improvements.
