Listen american football definitely has structural and safety related problems, i enjoy the games but i wish it was better structured

But

If a boxing fan says that football should be illegal because of the injury risk (a real actually type of guy i met once) you have every right to laugh in their face

Look intuitively, this sounds correct, but in reality… according to a 2017 study on brains of deceased football players that were donated to a brain bank, 99% of tested brains of NFL players, 88% of CFL players, 64% of semi-professional players, 91% of college football players, and 21% of high school football players had various stages of CTE. (1)

Meanwhile, according to a 2016 study on retired boxers, about 11% of all retired boxers examined had a mild case of CTE, and about 6% of the boxers had major neurological problems. And if you just looked at boxers who were over the age of 50 and fought in over 150 fights, the rate of CTE went up to 50%. (2)

I’m sorry, but it is absolutely reasonable for a boxing fan to say that American football should be illegal due to the injury risk, because American football is a much more dangerous sport than boxing in relation to the risk of traumatic brain injury.

And if you’re surprised to learn that American football is more dangerous than the sport where you literally punch each other. Well. I’d say that that’s part of the problem, actually.

Genuinely didn’t know that, but you are correct

penrosesun

I think that a lot of people don’t!

To be clear, I personally don’t think that it’s necessary to outright ban American football. There are a huge number of things that we could do to make the sport dramatically safer, short of just banning it altogether! But I think that part of the issue is precisely that people don’t know the relative risks of these things. Many fewer parents are comfortable letting their kids play the “hit each other in the head” sport than are comfortable letting their kids play American football, and that’s absolutely an issue of informed consent.

We need to start by acknowledging how dangerous American football truly is.

David from Accounting had to know. He was like "this is my chance, and I am going to take it", didn't reply, and then showed up to make friends. Intergenerational friends are really important! For reasons both practical and...spiritual. David from Accounting is your gift, Anthony. Cherish him.

which outfit would you rather wear? (ca. 1854-1859)

left 🖤🤍

right 🖤💜

Remaining time: 3 days 4 hours

requested by: @caeraashe

request: 1850s black dress with rainbow (or bright multi-color) fringe shawl

commentary from the curator: I think this was the most specific request I've looked for yet (which is totally fine btw, it just sometimes lessens my chance of finding the precise thing that was requested ☺️) so I was thrilled to find one, and then so, so excited to find two! I hope these are what you were looking for! ☺️

I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.
