Surprisingly, in terms of ER visits, football is actually only the third most dangerous sport in America according to data taken from the U.S. Consumer Produce Safety Commission. Basketball and bicycling both tallied more injuries than football, with soccer edging in at 4th place. NFL owners will likely cite this statistic if and when any of their market shares might be in jeopardy; otherwise, no one’s changing the rules back to two-hand touch or anything in pro football. That’d be about as American as telling Michael Bay that he only got to have one exploding helicopter in his next movie. It’s unthinkable.
