I'm being dismissive?
I'm not saying that I think what you said had no validity, of course contact sports are dangerous, I've played them I know the risks, hell , i've been on the wrong size of the risks several times. If anything having played the sport I would say that I'm in more of a position to know the risks and make a more informed choice than you are.
I just think you are the one being far too dismissive of things. People CHOOSE to play these sports knowing the risks, people enjoy watching these sports knowing the risks. Can't a fully grown adult make a choice about wanting to do something that could possibly be dangerous?
And what's wrong with a bit of danger anyway?
I don't want to live to age 130 spending my whole life wrapped in cotton wool having not done anything in it.
