What you're saying is if a sport is inherently dangerous we shouldn't aim to decrease the risks?

No, what I am saying is that WilderPegasus said "Maybe some people don't like seeing others suffer brain damage for entertainment purposes." Ok, Scott Stevens scrambled Eric Lindros's brains. Did WilderPegasus stop watching hockey? How about Cooke on Marc savard? Nope, he is obviously still following the game. Any contact sport has plays where others suffer brain damage at times in a game that is being played for entertainment purposes. Right? So I cannot understand how he can make that post while being a hockey fan. I actually was the one who suggested eliminating the big body checks so not sure how that does not work with decreasing the risks.
