Baseball and American football have a distinct advantage as spectator sports. The frequent pauses in the action provides time to fetch another beer and place wagers.

American football is doomed. We have probably millions in this country crippled by knee, hip, shoulder. and spinal cord injuries from football, but the CTE data has players seeking other sports or lines of work in droves.
Ruggers are a special breed. The amateur scene thrives with players continuing to play for as long as they possibly can. Here in the U.S. we also have thriving amateur baseball, basketball, and softball leagues. I suspect that in the longer term, the U.S. will be joining the worldwide pool of futbol fanatics and MLS will supplant our homoerotic mayhem. It will be weird watching all the flops after all the years of people being carted off with permanent disabilities. Or maybe we Americans will teach the world what real fouls look like. |

Bearing in mind the current evidence of head trauma I'm surprised they let kids smash heads with each-other in this game. I think the helmets here cause more problems than they solve. I remember even when playing rugby at school, boys mature at different ages and their can be huge disparities in strength and size in the teenage years. If adults what to turn their brains to a broken jelly fair enough, but let them be old enough to make their own informed decision first. Same goes for boxing, but we don't make kids box each-other at school. |

But I think you are right about the helmets. We played without helmets and seemed not to have many concussions or ill effects many years later. My dad's generation wore leather helmets without face masks. The helmets probably give the illusion of invulnerability and short circuit the body's natural moves to protect itself. It is the guys that play organized ball fro a young age in helmets and pads that are turning their brains to mush. Last edited by Arturo2nd; June 28th, 2018 at 12:44 AM.. |

I was quite small but fast so was wanted by both the soccer and rugby teams at school and college. But to be honest I never really enjoyed it much and preferred more solo pursuits like cycling or fishing. I wasn't till I spent a week in hospital with a smashed cheekbone and eye socket from a rugby match at 22 that I felt I had sufficient excuse to do what I wanted rather than what others wanted me to do. |

What I find particularly absurd is when American football or baseball players are referred to as "athletes" in America. They're not athletes but gladiators. |
