The thing is everyone knows these sports are brutal and can lead to broken bones. It's concussions that are of a larger concern.

- dragonwriter 12y agoConcussions are of larger concern largely because we've reduced the problem of one particular kind of broken bone (to wit, the skull -- which was a fairly serious problem in football) to a more manageable level with protective gear. I don't think reducing the impact of concussions by returning to the age of deaths by brain injuries from broken skulls is a way forward.
