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 ?  |
Perhaps there is a zero expectation for death? Granted the sport is rough, but not nearly as bad as European rugby where there are way more players and deaths occur more often. I can’t remember the last time a death was reported during a pro football game except for Lamar Hamlin who is of course now playing again anyway.
