    These guys are too big, too fast, and too strong.

    Too many players are getting hurt.

    These concussions are bad news, and paralysis is even worse.

    The only thing that could possibly slow down these savages is to put them in leather helmets. These guys continue to lead with their heads, and it's just too dangerous.

    Sign in if you think football should be reprimanded as a sport.

      While we're at it let's ban driving and alcohol and smoking. They are all more dangerous than football.

          Comes with the territory.....they need to figure out better ways to prevent injury

          Although very sad to hear about incidents like the Tulane safety.......Freak injuries that can somewhat be prevented if players don't lead head first

                The Giant gets it. We need protected. These athletes need protected. I get sick to my stomach every weekend, worrying about these guys. They give so much to us.

                  I guarantee you football won't be in existence 80 years from now.

                  If I'm wrong, you can have all my points.

                          Why not boxing? Or mma? Far more violent.

                          Ever talk to a 60 something year old boxer? No that right they can't

                                  Too much money in it. Listened to an interview with a dude from Forbes. NFL is set to make billions over the next 10+ years.

                                    Don't give liberals ideas

                                    You know how much liberals hate football and would rather us play sports like soccer.

                                      Of course it is insane, that is what we Americans love about it. The greatest athletes on earth running full speed into each other.

                                          I pretty much live for football and shit is getting bad.....It is hard to watch these ridiculous hits, players being taken out on stretchers every weekend, some terrible injuries

                                          Someone will probably die on the field within the next few years, although I hope I'm wrong

                                          Companies need to develop better equipment to help prevent serious injuries and need much harsher penalties for leading with your head......all we can really do

                                            Each generation of these Africans are stronger, bigger, and, faster than the previous.

                                            Maybe they need to upgrade helmets????

                                                I don't think upgrading helmets can stop the effects of a hard blow to the head

                                                  What the Fukk is that exactly?? Idk but if you can develop something like this you'd be a rich motherfukker
