I don't want to see anyone injured or suffer from something serious but with any sport, risk is involved. Mitigating that risk with banning head contact is a great move forward but eliminating body contact changes the game too drastically in my opinion and reduces the excitement and dynamics of the play.

We're not talking about taking contact out because it causes physical pain in the moment, we're talking about it because the accumulation of a career of head trauma breaks people's brains irreparably forever, fundamentally changing changing personalities and lives of families. We're not talking about losing your full range of motion on the driving range, we're talking about losing your ability to participate in society, or be a father. There are orders of magnitude different propositions, and fans are lining up to say "but I'm not entertained!!"
