Bull****. They are looking at a "collision" rule in baseball as we
speak. Basketball has become very "physical" and soccer injuries among
young players hurt more kids than football.

You're speaking to a guy who hasn't watched sports in decades. He sure
as hell hasn't watched
basketball, which I believe is as dangerous as football. An elbow to
the head in football isn't
going to do much, but it's extremely common in basketball. And, it's
hard for the refs to catch.

Way more injuries in football... legs, fingers, arms, teeth, turf toe
even....



The discussion was about causing *intentional* injuries to another player.


Still say more in football.... "intentional" as it's way easier to hide
a good hit in football than basketball...


Well, the point is that they're both dangerous as far as intentional hits are concerned. Harry's
comment that basketball and baseball don't have the intentional injury problem is bull****.

But, that's OK.
