I agree with you. It would be different if contact sports were only played by consenting adults who weren't economically coerced into playing. Professional contact sports drive the interest in high school sports where children are getting traumatic brain injuries to entertain a bunch of adults.

High school hockey is big where I live and it's crazy how violent it is. The size difference between players is more pronounced than it is in the NHL, so you have kids getting checked by someone a foot taller and 70 pounds heavier.

Kids getting permanent brain injuries so their fathers can relive their glory days.
