Actually injuries are getting more common and more serious as players have gotten so much larger and faster. The impact of the collisions in todays game are much greater than 30 years ago when LBs weighed 220 lbs and ran 4.8.

This is the dumbest argument i have ever heard. It is the exacts same one that coal companies used to use to justify sending miners down indo dangerous mines with bad air. If a guy wants to play professional football he should still be allowed to protect his health.
Easy for the fans to sit on their butts and complain about how THEIR game is being ruined because the players want to protect their health.
