Amazing how sissyfied society has become

Gladiators used to fight to the death in the colosseum and here we are watering down a great game like football with these new rules to keep players safe.
Smh....

Gladiators were slaves fighting for survival. They had no future beyond their next fight. Really want to compare our young men to that? That would be one giant leap backward.

And all that toughness NFL players have doesn’t help them much

When they have severe depression, suicidality, neurological problems, and dementia after their playing careers are over.

Oh grow a pair. I risk my life everyday getting on that mower.
Skin cancer caused from sun exposure, West Nile disease from mosquito bites, fire ants, wasps.....heck one guy turned over in a ditch last week in my town and got his foot chopped off.
We all take risks.

It's preseason. All of the "iffy" helmet calls will be made

It's a new rule and this always happens in preseason games when a new rule is in play. The refs will get graded and told which calls were right and which ones need to slide. It SHOULD be better once the regular season starts.

Other things that have contributed to sissying down 'Murica : Seatbelts , wireless mouses , non-skid flooring , looking the other way as pink shorts entered the men's clothing stream , the introduction of cheesecake doughnuts , dog costumes , allowing another century to start with France still in the world .

This reminds me of Arthur's (Jerry Stiller) line in King of Queens.
"You kids with your dieting and your health. In my day, we dropped dead of a massive coronary in our mid-50s and we liked it."
