Tell me outside of consent, how agreeing to slosh your brains around is any less violent than if someone did that to you without your consent?
That is like saying smoking is more healthy when you agree to smoke. I smoke, but I don't pretend it is healthy.
It is barbaric. The fact people agree to do it isn't a call to stop it. It is simply calling it what it is. I love the NFL myself, but that is barbaric too. I simply refuse to lie about it.
Violence in sports is still violence, consent does not change that. Punching someone or running into them full speed, creates violent contact and often injures the person involved.
Not a call to stop it, just being realistic about what it is.
