Actually, football nowadays is a lot safer than it used to be (Still not good for your health or anything, of course). So saying it's becoming "increasingly dangerous" is a big misnomer.

If you really think football will ever die over players health, you're really overestimating how many people care that football players go through this kind of thing.


Actually, it is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Ray Lewis generates about 1000 pounds of force when sacking a QB. Guys like Jack Lambert and Jack Tatum (most feared hitters of the era) were wimps compared to today's LBs and Safeties. Due to the science of working out.

The game is faster than ever. Sure padding might be getting better, but the speed of the game is increasing faster than the technology of the speed of the prevention methods.

F = m*a. The average weight of a player is increasing, and the speed of the game is increasing.
