Football can’t be saved. More and more evidence shows that the cumulative damage from small traumas rather than just small hits. So are you willing to completely give up football?
With hockey I think you could have hitting and still limit the risk of head trauma. Make any head contact incidental or not a penalty, strengthen boarding and charging penalties and enforcement.
Unlike football a body check doesn’t inherently involve head trauma. And if it’s found that rapid deceleration without contact cause CTE than with or without checking Hockey will need to be eliminated.
