However, many sports have inherent dangers and not just to the head. You say banning certain sports is inevitable, but where do you draw the line? There are guys who played pro sports who can barely walk anymore due to banged up knees, or guys who can even lift their arms above shoulder height because of repeated shoulder injuries.
I the free market will decide where to draw the line.

I can't disagree, and the free market tends to follow the social moral conscience over time. To that end, I would bet that a hundred years from now our descendants will look back on our collective appetite for blood sports much the same we we look back with revulsion on the gladiatorial spectacles of ancient Rome.
