    I’m not OP but I dislike football because it’s got a huge risk of TBI for the players, like way more than most sports, even with the helmets. Also it feels really nationalistic and militarized

      the problem is the helmets do jack shit to prevent TBIs. A TBI is when the brain hits the skull. A helmet will do jackshit to stop that.

      Yeah, I always feel like I’m just watching people give themselves brain damage for trivial reasons when I see a football game. Especially one involving teenagers (or even younger). Then it’s the parents also allowing their kids to get brain damage. It all makes me a little queasy.
