So even though american football is more dangerous it is justifiable because the main point of the game is to score more points or get the football onto a specific part of a field?
And the point of boxing is to not get hit and score points...  You don't get more points for inflicting branin damage on an individual...  The primary goal is to score ponts and if a KO comes it comes. It's like sacking a quarterback... Sometimes you take them out of the game if the hit is vicious enough... Defensive lineman are not answering for that and well they shouldn't... It's part of the game as is KOs in boxing... 

"there is no place in contemporary society for a youth sport which has, as its primary goal, the infliction of acute brain damage on an opponent."

This is an ingnorant statement.  This is what these people think the point of the sport is?  One of the dumbest statements I have ever read... 

I'm sure this is the same type of person that has been trying to remove dodgeball from schools because it is demeaning...  It is what one broadcaster called "The Pussification of America" 

You want to talk about a sport thats soul perpose is to hurt someone it is UFC.  Cuz bashing your elbow into someone's orbital is healthy!  Submitting someone, putting somone in so much pain that they need to quit...  This "sport" should not even be talked about in the same breath as boxing... 


Thats my take on this bullshit...
