Get rid of the pads, longer time outs after a concussion, a maximum number of concussions before forced retirement, solid education of players on the effects of repeated TBIs, high pay for athletes to compensate for that risk, high quality healthcare for those that do suffer injuries, and of course nationalize it so that the profit motive doesn’t fuck with the rest of those things
Oh and do ban it for minors, that shit’s fucked. High schoolers can play flag football but tackle football has to go
Then they're just not gonna report them. Sports are big money
Honestly people would still not report. Playing sports at the professional level isnt the same thing as working as a mechanic. People who do that really love playing their sport. Getting rich doing it is a bonus.
Yeah, at some point there’s only so much you can do to protect people from themselves. Have the safeguards and education in place, and if people really want to climb over the railings all you can really do is take care of them afterwards.
