caring about athletes health and well being

[uh-oh]

i think the sentiment is them not being contact sports. a tackle in soccer isn't like a tackle in rugby. and a tackle in rugby is soft in comparison to american football because the tackler has to worry about hurting himself in the process.

but word, its in regards to actual contact sports

hell i don't watch hockey so i could be off base and they changed back, but i remember a push to stop fighting, and maybe even shrinking the rink? or discussions of it, and rule changes because people were getting destroyed. think maybe it was something like you cant just go full speed from one end and crush a guy you have to start from a certain line? again im showing my ignorance i know nothing

but basically every combat sport outside of fighting has been softened it seems

bring back swords
