As opposed to playing football or hockey, which is super good for your long term health!
Admittedly, those two are at an extreme in terms of destroying your body, but they're not alone. Gymnastics leaves people in rough shape in their later years. I'd imagine figure skating and tennis are also pretty hard on you too.
- ceejayoz 9y agoSounds like an argument for better safety measures in those sports, not fewer.
- maxerickson 9y agoWith American football there is a paradox; modern safety equipment makes the big hits possible.
- eru 9y agoRugby and Australian rules football are good controls.

- Bjartr 9y agoBoxing too, was made to be more harmful long term by the introduction of safety measures (the gloves). Previously headshots were less frequent to avoid damage to the hands.
- skufuor 9y agoSports like football and hockey would be even more dangerous if "everyone" was able to use PED's. You're just going to raise the physicality that much more.
- reese_john 9y agoUnless football and hockey leagues are randomly testing their athletes year-round, like the UFC does with USADA, it is very safe to assume that everybody is on steroids.
