how physical is american football compared to rugby? given that there's very little protective gear worn in rugby

the difference in physicality is that one sport wears pads and the other doesn't. the hits are more or less the same, but football fines head hunters..dunno how that's handled in rugby.

I think maybe it comes down to a difference in sanity.

in addition, americans bitch about signing up for a job with an occupational hazard of getting hit. so when the have head trauma its a lawsuit instead of, "well I did pick this career path"

The lawsuit is slightly more complicated than that, since the NFL teams have doctors on staff and players were sent back out to play after having concussions. There is some level of liability when someone bruises their brain after a massive hit and the doctor gives a pat on the back and sends them back out there.

And the after effects of the concussions being "you can never be happy again" are starting to hit home with players.

i mean, if youre hurt you can say "coach i can't play." and any dr will say, yeah i mean he has a concussion."

the issue is player bravado overtaking any sort of desire to look after yourself. i guess the legislation laid down by the league is to take the decision out of the player/team's hands.

Due to the lack of padding, people actually hit a lot smarter in rugby etc. American Football they just dress up kids as tanks and throw them at each other.

The issue is that you are asking someone with a head injury to make decisions if they are ok to play(hint, every player is going to say yes). Also the doctors are required by their ethical code to not let players go back onto the field if they are hurt. People can't just fall back on the defense of "The player made the decision, so its their fault." In liability, there is something called comparative negligence that addresses that issue.

This is why people hate law. They want it to provide clear, dry, black and white answers to situations. But life isn't like that and law is nothing but nuance and context. 99% of the answers are "maybe?"

And since there is no way to prevent a concussion with equipment, as the hits get harder, the more peoples brains get damaged.

mma always looked way more like a male orgy than any of the footballs... at least in football they aren't hugging each other nude for 15 minutes.
