If you said practically having your head removed from your shoulders,you would be correct
The NHL has an entire class of players called thugs,that are only in the league to wallop people,they arent great skaters,they have minimal puck handeling ability,but they can level a guy
Actually no, you do not get baseballs deliberately thrown at someone's head almost every game. You are just making statements out of thin air. And baseball players wear hard hat's with webbing on the inside. The issue I am making is one of intent and the rules of the game. You can have great baseball without blows to the head and body. Last time I checked, you cannot have great pro boxing without those things. You can't argue against that point.

Boxing and other martial arts is unique in that repeated blows to the head is a natural and desireable part of the game. It's how you win or lose. It is allowed and encouraged by the rules. Repeated blows to the head is not allowed and encouraged by the rules in either baseball or football. This is FACT. You can't argue this point.

Focus on this issue TM. I'm talking about what is and is not allowed and encouraged by the rules.
I noticed you avoided the football part,where hitting people is intregal to the game. One of the greatest Hockey songs of all time is "Hit Somebody",sounds very passive
No dude, I did not ignore football. I specifically mentioned for both baseball and football is that striking your opponent in the head is not allowed and encouraged by the rules. Same thing goes for hockey. This is FACT. Are you reading all of my posts?

OK, let's talk football. Again. I agree that headshots do happen. I do not agreee that a head blow is a natural and desireable part of the game, nor do I agree that the majority of players try to knock their opponent off their feet by deliver a shoulder block directly to the head, on purpose. Same for hockey. It happens, but it is not a normal and desireable part of the game.
