The players wear thick helmets and still suffer head injuries.
It's less about the players' skill and more about being large, fast and tough — and violent, bumping into each other.
Strategy and tactics are dictated by the coach, not by the players.

And this is taught in schools ... In effect conditioning kids to becoming cannon fodder.
Great.
Still, I'm looking forward to the commercials on Youtube later.
