Isn't it true that most of the long term damage happens to linemen due to the hundreds, if not thousands of repeated head traumas over a career? The spearing tackles are aweful and sensationalized but only a small part of the issue.

Back on topic, I think the problems with big sport are entirely time and price. Too long and too expensive. And I say this as a flames and stamps season ticket holder.
