I could be completely wrong, but my impression is that football involves a lot of set plays and planning for almost everything that happens on the field. Taking unnecessary hits out of the game would be easier since almost everything is premeditated. Hockey, aside from occasional moments, is less about set plays and more about adapting to everything that is unfolding. Obviously that creates different challenges for these types of things.
My impression of football could be wrong as I don't have a lot of experience with it. I could be way off.
