Yeah, but now we have those dudes who played in the 70s and 80s and they're all kinds of physically and mentally hosed up and we all kind of collectively decided that bullshit isn't worth it - for them or for society.

Also - was football even that big in the 70s in hindsight? Would it be the equivalent of people caring about concussions and violence in roller derby today? poo poo gets big, more people watch, more people watch, the players make more money, the more money the players get the more they assert their rights to bodily autonomy and mental well-being, etc.
