When my son was young and playing football, I had a t-shirt that said, “Football teaches boys that when you have something, there are 11 others that want to take it away from you.”

[@jacoblittlequigs]

American football causes the most injuries usurpingly out of all sports. A lot of the big hits are called for a flag now (meaning you aren't allowed to do that) to protect player safety. There are very few players that never get an injury while playing football. That's the beauty of Football.

[@rubroken]

I think professional bull riding might cause more injuries than football(just a guess)

[@jacoblittlequigs]

@@rubroken there is somewhere around 1300 bull riding injuries annually. Vs 1.2 million injuries in football

[@rubroken]

@@jacoblittlequigs Are you accounting for the fact that there are hundreds of bull riders vs tens of thousands of football players? How about a statistic of injuries per 100 participants in each(I don't know those stats)

[@jacoblittlequigs]

@@rubroken yes bull riders in that case have more injuries than football players. But a majority of players never play. There are 70 players on a football team and only 24 get serious playing time. Most bull riders ride bulls and aren't on a bench waiting to ride. With that being said that fact doesn't dissolve the fact that football still has a lot more injuries globally.

We take kids when they are 6 and begin the journey of toughness! My son played Peewee football for 3 years until he got hurt with a dirty hit (a kid speared him in his back with his helmet) I was there every Saturday watching him play. I was one of the down marker holders on the sidelines. It was AMAZING! Anyway.. I digress.. Kids are taught at a very young age to be rough, tough and smart. Some kids are dirty.. Some not. They go through Jr high and high school training to be that way. By the time they get to college, they are ready for anything. The trainers have to be top notch. The kids need to listen to the trainers and work on their bodies and minds daily to prevent injury. Football is a beautiful and brutal sport. My family and I love it dearly. Pre-season starts in a week, and we are already excited! So yes.. The hits you see in this video are awesome, but many are now considered penalties for obvious reasons.

To watch him react to this is amazing being a football player my self all of those guys got up for the next play and played the rest of the game it’s also very difficult to pop somebody’s helmet off

[@a.westerberg6392]

Theyve made rule changes in the name of safety in recent years, but when I was learning the game, it was always taught that if someone wants to go over the middle of the field and catch a ball, you make them regret that choice and never want to do it again

[@jobereinicke7430]

brother, we do this shit at 10 yrs old in the states... our 9th grade team at a small highschool had 3 ambulances on the sideline for every game and frequently used them. i personally lost a tooth, a broken arm, a heat stroke, and multiple collapsed blood vesseles to 3 yrs of football. and id do it all again lol. best sport i ever played.

[@chet3052]

A lot of big hits are flags now. There used to be a show called jacked up on ESPN. I believe it aired from 2002-2006 and it was awesome! That was before Roger Goodell (the football devil) was commissioner.

[@amandastratton4458]

One of the biggest concerns is the concussions. It changes the brain and several players have become violent or suicidal.

[@stevedavis5704]

When my son played football I saw a study that said on a kickoff return or any other play where the players could get up to full speed when they hit together it’s like hitting two compact cars together head on at 30 miles per hour. Around here the kids can start playing partial contact football when they are 4 years old. Mostly they just run into each other and fall down. When you drive past the practice field some of the kids are so small that you can barely see a person, it just looks like a pile of pads with a helmet on top. One thing about the teams up until the kids get to be 9 or 10 years old you will have some girls playing football on the teams and believe me when I say the girls that play are some of the roughest meanest players on the field. When my daughter played the opposing team would always run at her because she was a girl and the coaches thought they could just run over her. Ten minutes or so into the game they would start doing plays that deliberately took the ball to parts of the field where she and her two friends were not. If you haven’t watched it yet there is a couple of videos out there that show the worst weather games played. If you doubt football players are crazy watch them and end your doubts. One game they show it was so cold the refs couldn’t use their whistles because they froze to them.

Grew up playing football...when we were younger all the guys on the block I grew up on played football out in the field across the street from our house. No pads and full tackle. We would basically beat the crap outta each other and than go have lunch. We're some crazy corn and beef fed Midwesterners though. Playing in the snow was my favorite.

[@jasonmarquis7586]

I can't talk for the generations that came after mine, but back in the 70s and 80s, most of us kids were playing backyard football, no pads, hitting our buddies as hard as we could. Just part of being a kid for us gen-xers.

[@chipbailey4610]

Yes and had so much fun hitting each other.

[@trith72]

At the age of 53, I've had 5 surgeries to correct and repair things caused by 4 years of High school and 1 and 1/2 years of college football. Destroyed knee, 3 vertebra fused in my back, shoulder labrum repair, and corrected a badly broken and immobile finger. I loved football so much, I wouldn't go back and change anything, but I suffer in pain every day for it....and that's not even playing at the pro level. I was never even remotely good enough for that and was just a average no name fullback, and I was forced out of Div 3 college football by mounting injuries that I mentioned above, the worst being the cracked vertebra. Can you imagine what the actual retired pros go through when they get to my age? I was lucky too, I only ever had one concussion that I know of, and it was crazy. I was on special teams as well and on a kick off i collided helmet to helmet with another guy full speed and my lights went out. I mean completely, i was so concussed and brain blasted I was almost totally blind...could not even see to stagger back to the bench. I went back in to the game about 10 minutes later....that night i spent hours in from of the toilet throwing up I was so sick from the concussion. To be fair, no one really thought much about CTE back then, it was way before the push to make the sport more impact friendly. Never told anyone about it besides my family. I walked away from football about a month later, thankfully fully recovered head wise, but still with a lot of other injuries.

Because of this is why football is the one sport of prefer my kids not to play in high school or college.

The thing that you may need to know... hits like this also happen at high school level... all over the nation. You just don't see them in videos like this because most of those games are not recorded by mass media. The professional and college games are on the weekend... but Friday Night Lights (High School Football) can also be just as amazing to watch.

[@teo_heel]

Nice to see some Canadian Football (that is a different sport from American Football, btw) and more specifically CFL highlights thrown into the video. Edmonton Eskimos (now known as Edmonton Elks), Montreal Alouettes, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Calgary Stampeders, Toronto Argonauts, BC Lions were shown. Only Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks were not shown (mostly because those were very old highlights when Ottawa were still trying to get back to the league after folding twice). PS. I'm surprised this video didn't show that one hit by Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Matt O'Donnell on Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker Diamond Ferri... Ferri was knocked out.

[@johnpatton7533]

Most of these hits are between guys of similar size, so it’s not like one little guy got flattened by a big guy. Several of the punt return hits were penalties, but I don’t think anyone got seriously hurt in these hits.

[@stevedavis5704]

When my son played football in school it was pretty much understood if you were just standing flat footed and got hit you were probably going to get hurt. If you could get braced for it or were moving yourself the hits would look bad but you didn’t get hurt as bad.

[@seansteyer8851]

A huge difference between rugby and US Football is that in football we can block. Hitting people without the ball. Many plays are designed to hit a player that isn't necessarily looking the direction of the block so a lot of the huge collisions come from that. At least the person carrying the ball is expecting to be hit, but the others have to keep their head "on a swivel" paying attention to those that may be hitting them.
