Well, I think that diverting folks from enjoying football is a hopeless and futile endeavor. Even making it completely safe is not possible in my opinion.

I guess that in playing or living life, we have to take on some risks or life would lose a lot of it's zest and it's meaning.

If we would avoid the risk of dying, we would never give birth to children, or drive a car or leave our homes. We would never join the military and defend our country or be a police officer or a fireman or a doctor or a paramedic or a nurse or a teacher. There is risk of death in some ways in all we do.

Team sports help us to learn to work together toward a common goal and keep us healthy and active.

I just don't understand the point of this thread.
