CodeMonkey Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 makes you wonder how anyone ever gets injured......... That's actually easy. Very big and strong guys, padded up including helmets making their bodies into weapons that they hurl at each other as fast and as hard as they can. It obviously doesn't take much time to get hurt in that situation. If they removed helmets (or made more like a hockey helmet) and removed most of the pads, the majority of the serious injuries would disappear. But the game would not even be recognizable as what we call American football today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
