I think this is a fair comment, and those that dismiss this comparison due to extreme sports be currently incomparable to NFL are missing the core issue. There are businesses profiting off of the risks others are taking for the entertainment of others. Yes, there are no wing suit programs in American high schools. But, the sponsors of these activities are trying hard and paying good money to have these videos and images displayed to as many high school students as possible. Tackle football should probably not be allowed in public schools, but there will be rec and private leagues so long as the NFL is successful as a business. There will probably not be free soloing or wing suit programs in high school, but there will be people risking there lives in part because some businesses were successful at marketing the sports and made money while doing so. Certainly football is the most urgent issue at hand because it has it is so imbued in our culture, but I do not think people are watching videos of free soloists dropping to valley floors because that wouldn't be good for business.
