I appreciate sports for their social value, and I don't want to sound like (too much of a) a hypocrite since my main shit is combat sports where the whole point is to harm each other, but football fucking sucks ass, and the fact that something so dangerous is so deeply present in schools is very unethical to me.

America somehow just needs to get into Rugby. I'm not super familiar with the rules of either sport, but while I'm sure there are differences, premise wise they're pretty similar, but the lack of all the heavy padding discourages players from going so stupidly hard (because they'd fuck themselves up way easier).
