As long as the risks and rewards are known to the best of the ability of the players and fans, then I say "Play ball!"

Football is a contact sport. All such sports carry inherent risk of injury.

Goody two-shoes social engineers are not going to ban football...

With that attitude, I can guarentee you that football will eventually be banned. You will lose your precious game.

And you will whine about it.

I agree with you here except for this: football isn't a contact sport, it's a collision sport.

Players know that going in, right?
