[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3682435, member: 45524"] yeah actually it's funny because if you used the (non smoothed) brain you can see in my post how i address the issue arises from the helmets and pads. hockey, you do see cte, though not as often as football because again, there isn't nearly as much *normal* head to head contact which generates the kind of brain trauma. so actually rugby is far safer, because yeah, if you get domed you'll usually get cut and come out of the game. you do not see measured 100+ g's to the head in that sport *as often* not that it cannot occur. motorsports has risks, but those involve crashes or straight up accidents. not a guarantee from playing the sport itself, another swing and miss. bicycle is the same fallacy, of course accidents occur but you are equating something in football that isn't an accident; it occurs on every play, in every practice, unless you are playing flag. and in all these sports, you will address these risks as accidental, not a guarantee. i know people don't like hearing you have brain damage, but holy crap. yes, i know that cheerleading is the highest rated sport by injury, including severe. yes, i know rowing *kills* more people than football because of drownings. feel free to bring any other lame argument, but try to bring a fact about football not being dangerous for kids if want to eat at the big table.
