Of course there were cuts and bruises. By “hurt” I meant any kind of injury that required a trip to the doctor. The most painful injury I got playing schoolyard football was getting racked.

I think we're on the same page regarding what "hurt" means ... the interesting thing, to me, is that after a modern pro football game played on artificial turf the players don't really show any evidence of the game. Sweat ... but no mud, not bruises, no scrapes ... and they've been really hammering each other. The modern pads and helmets really do change the game.

Oddly enough, I recall getting 'racked' more often from baseball than football. Took me a long time to really figure out how to field a grounder ...
