Your comment makes it sound like “we” are a bunch of aristocrats who force people to play football against their will for our own entertainment.
They’re all playing of their own volition and are well aware of the risks. When you watch or read documentaries about players, they’re all extremely passionate about the game. It’s just like the guy from the free solo movie, or any other participant in extreme sports… they’re well aware that they’re doing unnecessarily risky things but they just can’t emotionally pull themselves away. The human mind can be that irrational sometimes.
Nobody said you have to like football but comments like yours are just unproductive and mean, especially for a science sub








Unfortunately they’ve been one in the same in the US for many years
