I agree with you that head trauma can be managed which is a really good thing and it doesn't change the game too drastically either. Changing the method and delivery of contact is even a good thing.
However, your example of being a father or participating in society goes quite overboard. By your logic, we might as well eliminate race car driving, rugby, Aussie rules football and it goes on and on. Sport is sport. Sure it can evolve and it's a good thing, but I don't think it's a good idea to eliminate contact in one fell swoop.
