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.

even....

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

Way more players, too. But I was thinking more of the 'purposeful' injuries. But, I suppose
football's a little more on the dangerous side. I played basketball through high school, so I know
what it can be like. Only played flag football in the Army.

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.

His comment was about 3" above yours. " Deliberate acts of violence are not common in baseball or

You don't get much more deliberate than that crash at home plate. The
whole intent is to hit the catcher hard enough to make him drop the
ball. The catcher does wear protective gear but it really just
protects him from a pitched ball, not a 250 pound, roided up player,
coming in at 30 feet per second.


Yeah, but every hit in football is designed to make someone drop the
ball or get hurt... every single one. Every time a guy blocks on the
line, he tries to shove a thumb in an eye, or an elbow to the kidney,
twist a leg while in the pile, etc..... Your pads don't help much when
you are in a pile and someone grabs your leg and tries to twist it off
while getting up... Granted, in baseball there is some contact, what,
three times a game? In football there are probably 40 hits, each and
every play, designed to hurt the other guy and put him out of the game...

If those guys were bright enough to do as they were trained, they'd
protect themselves form oncoming cleats.
