[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1121837, member: 55747"] I see where you're coming from but i am not sure you can generalize it that way. If that were the case we should fobid running and prohibiting tackles, scrums and high balls, just to increase players safety. Without entertainment for the fans there'd be no money for the players which means no sport. It is a contact sport and part of the appeal is that players put their bodies on the line. I believe the trick lies, precisely, in figuring out how to make the game safer while minimizing the effect on the entertainment part, at least not enough so that fans decide to stop watching. We're not that far away from that imo. South Park's sarcastabal episode comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
