Default How are Football Games any different from the Roman Colliseums

It seems like we have not progressed very far from the old days. All the peasants are being appeased by the royalty with games of breaking bones, injuries, and head trauma. Granted,
there are less lives lost because we are now civilized. Have we really progressed from thousands of years ago or is human nature the same, a scary thing.

This is not a condemnation of football, far from it, it is just an observation that mankind has not really changed that much. Are we really more civilized or is the veneer just thicker or more shiny/ blinding ?
