That is so true yo lol

Only in Texas or Fl.

Back in the day yes. But concussion protocol says minimum 5 days out

@@AreeyaKKC That's only if you show signs which a lot of these wouldn't

@@AreeyaKKC most of these guys didn't "show signs" and kept going

you are correct. Unlike our friends in western Europe, American football players ,Never stop even injured we can will and DO go back into play. You are considered a weak man if you stay on the side line like a baby crying over a paper cut. I played with broken fingers , knee injuries ( which required surgery AFTER the end of the season , several stiches above the eyes ) It paid for my college and I ,Unlike so many got a degree where i could make a good living when I got out. Far far to many take course loads that are super easy Physical ED ,History ect. When they leave the best jobs will pay Maybe 30,000 year. STEM however, pays a hell of a lot more, Is it hard ? Damned right, but worth it.

True, the vast majority of those players did wind up back in their respective games but there were 2 or 3 clips shown where that player never played football again too.

That, and not wanting to look like a bitch in front of your team mates lol

Rugby has no four downs though, but instead keep running and running. Few breaks; so lower speeds.

@@valdemarharaldsson2497 Indeed - having played both sports, the thing about American football when I played was the weaponization of the pads/helmet. Especially on defense we were encouraged to launch ourselves at full speed into the other player instead of making a proper rugby-style wrap up tackle. Even though I loved the big hits, I'm kinda glad that most of those hits we were encouraged to make (especially leading with our heads) are now illegal, since I finished many an American football game with my head pounding, ears ringing and my neck in a ton of pain

Plus the size of these guys in the NFL combined with the speed they move at today? A deadly combination.

Yeah, the average NFL football player is 6 foot two and weighs 146 pounds. You get those guys going to top speed with 30 pounds of pads and it turns into a car crash, quite literally.

*246 lbs

Probably get pulled out for a play just to get checked for a concussion but yeah most go back in

adrenaline is a double edge knife, they probably don't realize it and get back to it but their condition could be dangerous

America 17 points, England 0!

Nah not 99% more like 75% some of these hits are hard

@@ronduck1459 sometimes sometimes no, many of them just pop up and keep it moving

I guess it's all in your perspective. Just get up and rub some dirt on it. You'll be fine. It's just a a flesh wound.

YES! I was noticing the penalties as well...

It's funny because it's TRUE! We 100% do that!

Helmet to Hemet, roughing the passer....

@@parkeydavid These days it's all focused on targeting penalties

The thrill of the arena - it's indescribable, brother! Only those who have experienced it can truly relate...😉👍

@@ewms4931 it really is brother. it really is. And I miss those days and would give anything to go back

Except emaual sanders was out for the rest of the game.

not true at all lol

@@lsfranchi exactly. The NFL has had a new concussion protocol since 2014 or so. An independent doctor not associated with the team or league monitors players on the field for concussion like symptoms. They have access to sensors inside the players helmets that sense hard impacts and collisions to the helmet. If a player exhibits concussion like symptoms, they are immediately placed into the concussion protocol and are forced to leave the game, and will most likely miss next weeks practice and sometimes the next game. I’d say the majority of helmet to helmet collisions in this video resulted in concussions.

@@lsfranchi There’s been a big push for player safety over the last 7 years or so. The NFL always errs on the side of caution when there are injuries regarding the head and neck.

@@chrishirthe4162 I wouldn't say "always" honestly. They fought against the newer concussion policies for years, and this was while former players were dying from CTE related injuries. They were forced to change their rules by public scrutiny.

yup not realizing that they go 100 percent at each other and love it. don't get me wrong rugby is a hard sport in it's own way, just not as violent as hockey or football. football does have a few more hits than hockey but but yeah they both hit freakin hard, as most hockey players are technically linebackers from football in size.

👍🤭😁

@@correlfreehand9454 actually ESPN Sport science did an episode on it at some point, and hockey hits are on average like 15% harder than football hits (I’m probably wrong on the percentage but they determined that hockey hits were harder) which makes sense since they’re on skates so they’re average speed is faster

@@ezzywachsstock7323 true i keep forgetting that, but still they both hit hard, i have also not seen many get completely knocked out though, yes there have been a few but not as many as football. they do hit hard full body, so that force is also distributed a bit more. yeah they both do hit hard not knocking that.

@@correlfreehand9454 Yeah both hit hard. The difference is how they hit though. Football hits a lot of the time they aim for the head, which is illegal in hockey. That's probably why more football players end up with head injuries or knocked out on the field

Football in the south ain't a matter of life or death.... it's waaaaay more serious than that.

Yeah that is a tank. I measured at 6'2. 310 my sophomore year so I know that feeling of coaches asking you but they wouldn't let me play when I was younger because they thought I would hurt people. In turn that made me not want to play football because my heart wasn't in it

You are correct, I seen that interview.

Just like wrecks at the stock car races.

@@_Green_Onions_ Your response is a _non sequitur_

@@_Green_Onions_ It means that what you said has no logical connection to what I said. Referencing OP, I said that people go to stock car races to see the "hard hits." You told me you raised sheep.

@@Whoozerdaddy Gotta disagree. Common goats are natural headbutters and tacklers. Hitting them like rams brings the sequitor into focus. Or I've been married so long I catch the tertiary connections...

@@sid2112 I honestly don't know what you people are on about. My original comment was that people go to stock car races to see wrecks, the same as they go to football games to see massive collisions between people. Neither the original response nor any of the subsequent ones had the slightest thing to do with my post. You can tell yourself my post was about anything you want, but it was about people's blood lust and nothing else.

And the boy’s expression.

Haha, yep, in some places, especially texas, they start them real young.

My cousin is married to a former NFL player, and they aren't letting their boy anywhere near a Football. Once you get a bit older you get to understand that even with all the rule changes it's still a crazy violent sport.

@@OzzyTheGiant kids around me started at 12 lol. Some of them you can tell if you know what I mean

@@OzzyTheGiant yeah i bet, here in nc you start at 4 with flag football, then at 6 or 8 you get into football

I still have a scar from when I played

In NZ they're the same age group - high school and college are used interchangeably.

@@travismiles6467 what...? I think you're misunderstanding me completely. I agree there is a difference between a highschool and college team in the US, but in NZ we use different terms for the different levels of education. University is just university here, and when we say college we are referring to highschool age group.

@JOE BROOKS facts and what when Watt almost knocked Drew Bress head off his shoulders

This comment needs more thumbs ...straight fact

In football it's kill or be killed so I was happy to try to legally take someone out. Especially when I'm tired as hell and someone is trying to bury me in the dirt.

As they should be

He should've been arrested for first degree murder 😆

What state?

My son's a CB and absolutely crushed a kid and got a minor concussion himself. This cheerleader that turned him down embarrassingly as heck tried to kiss him as he was being led to the locker room. He literally stuck his helmet on her as she leaned in. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen live. Even the stadium announcer kid was laughing so hard he couldn't call a play for 5 minutes. I've been looking on YT for months hoping someone would've posted it. My niece couldn't go but listened to the radio broadcast. She said the kid announcing it said "He took her out harder than the wide receiver" and that you could hear people in the background laughing for a while too.

there was 2 clips

Look at how big basketball players are

It's Aussie, not Ozzie lol

@@Fazetarez it's a different type of big rather than just tall. Football players are BIGGG aside from few positions.

@@Fazetarez there aren’t that big

@@Fazetarez NFL players are big in both height and body mass.

aren’t concussions head injuries?

My middle school years we had a football player get put in a helicopter and taken out

there are ambulances at some middle school games.

@@PatrickMahomes15Chiefs yes they are, there was a massive problem with them in football. Watch the movie "Concussion" with Will Smith. Its about getting the nfl to admit to them existing and the players actually suffering from them.

I wouldnt be surprised haha

@@yournewzealandfamily to stay with the American football theme, Best Jukes would be good. Watch them dodge the tackles instead of being crushed.

@@MagatsuUjio i totally agree! The hits are big attraction. But watching them make the tackler miss, or running through the tackle is just as impressive!

ha, the way momma bear said no way, I would be more afraid of her than any football player.

whole family react to the college football realignment I know you've watched it yourself but they need to know what college football really is and what happened during that 40 year time periods been over 151 years well technically 152 years starting this fall

I tried explaining US football to one of my ex's, she just didn't care to try to keep up with it. I've been watching it for over 40 years, I didn't realize how much there is to it to somebody who's never watched it before.

@@justincase8037 yep. The way I've learned to explain it is- it's live action chess, but the pieces are modern gladiators And have a mind of their own.

@@justincase8037 Omaha-omaha-omahahaha, smartest QB I've seen, also a Burgh fan.

Best way to teach it or learn it is playing Madden Football. Trust me

@@justincase8037 Manning had an uncanny ability to read a defense and run an audible , it was awesome to watch. But as to your chess comment, I think you are correct , and Brady and Belichick played for the end game better than anyone.

I was gonna say, the technique in rugby is better. Like proper tackling whereas with football it's often a collision at full sprint. It seems as though the technique is found on the line of scrimmage, in the open field it's pure violence.

Most likely because Rugby players wear little protection and know not to try to injury themselves or others.

Some Ruggers wear helmets as well to make it less prone to injury

No offense intended but Rugby doesn't come close to this game...Rugby tackles, please!!!...don't make me laugh. The players aren't as big and strong, as fast, or as tough/ Lmao when someone tries to compare the tackling between the two totally different sports.

@@theoafman9068 ...yeah right!...(chuckles), and y'all call those tackles?...scrums...lol

Respectfully

True story look up the Springfield Massacre which saw 7 players carted off the field in dying conditions. That was between 2 Ivy League College teams too.

Yet at the same time it has given players a subconscious notion of they have "armor" on so they can take and make harder hits. It's succeeded in preventing deaths, but it's also succeeded in increasing every impact related injury just short of death. In a kind of satire, now that we're addressing that concussions are really bad other injuries seem to be taking the spotlight. I've seen more torn ACL's, ankle sprains, and Achilles heel strains taking players out of games than ever before. It might be because of the more recent transparency of the NFL, but it seems like every college season, my alma mater has one or more of their key players go down with one of these three and they're out for a third of the season.

@@steeljawX as well as life long issues that may not be a serious problem until they are older.

Yeah the gear makes it safer and more dangerous at the same time. Because you can throw your body like a weaponized Mac Truck. Basically would you rather be in a bareknuckle boxing match , or in knights armor sword fight? Me at this age? Neither lol.

Yes, they are if they comPlain that they are hurt. They make sure they are not hurt

Tis but a scratch

most of them jump up and keep playing lol

Kenny Bell was the G.O.A.T.

Still one of my favorite hits ever.

🤣

@@yournewzealandfamily I live near Los Angeles California. We used to have a what you could call a minor league called XFL. The team was called L.A. Xtreme. The league is no longer.

my magnet program hs never had a football team lol

I’m in my sophomore year of football... I was a lineman last year, but since I can run pretty well and I weigh 150 pounds at 5 foot 7, I think I might do receiver. Hope your boy has a good season.

There is this 1A or 2A school in Alabama that doesn't have a football team

My oldest nephew played football and lacrosse. He got hit by two players and broke his femur. They had to put a metal rod and screws into the bone to help it heal. He woke up from the surgery and asked when he could get back on the field. Unfortunately, he was a HS senior and he was done for the season. He did heal up in time to play his senior year of lacrosse though.

That’s a good mom lolol

Nah let ur kid play footballs fun. I only just got my first concussion (from football) and it was cuz i made a bad tackle lol it was my fault.

Heck yeah, getting hit by a freight train and ready to take it again 20 seconds later. Lol

Lol. Not anymore. As an American football has gotten so soft I watch soccer. It's more physical

@@gameforfree2833 well they had too. Players getting brain damage going crazy and killing themselves and other people.

@@jonb2911 I know this SILLY. just saying ummm. That American football in no longer football. There are some people that liked to watch men play "football". Just sucks we can't anymore.

And develop CTE in the process.

Not to mention some of the older reels where players were tossing others over their shoulders by the face mask! Brutal! Also, interesting to know about the ear hole on helmets. I never noticed they changed that, lol

Yes. They made rules about hitting a person in the head to head contact. They are making more rules like that to cut down on concussions, head injuries that can take damage and compound over time by mutable hits to the head. It seems concussions is becoming a big thing in all sports now days, where they are trying to protect the players more.

A lot of those were perfectly legal actually. There were some that were leading with the helmet and all but I'd say a lot of those are just good hits.

@@Hawkz00 Indeed. There was one flagrant facemask as well but it was in black and white film so I'm guessing it may not have been illegal at the time or at least not as aggressively enforced.

@@robynspelts5688 when did they ever do that? i been watching the nfl since the 70's and grabbing the facemask has always been against the rules during that time,.

There are no "small" guys they only look small on TV.

Yeahhh... small.. if 6'3 280 pounds is small.

Ironically, the high school I played at had a huge Poly population who loved to play football. We were pegged as a “dirty team” for how we hit. On the weekends and after practices, we would play rugby (we weren’t supposed to do this for injury purposes, but we were 17-18 years old). We would hit each other just as hard as if we had pads on. It’s not about the comfort of the pads. It’s about the age-old adage: “It doesn’t hurt if you’re the one doing the hitting.” I loved playing rugby; it’s fun! But I really believe it’s easier for a football player to transition to rugby than a rugby player to transition to football.

At times it could be career ending hits. And sadly some end up mentally mush from hits like this.

That means there’s no infidelity

@@josephjones611 Sad, but true fact...

There's only two other sports that seem to induce the same reactions from moms are olympic style wrestling and motocross (Motogp [street bike racing] has horrific crashes but most riders seem to be just fine after a wreck due to course layout). I've seen more than enough motocross wrecks (brothers raced) to know that it's one of the few sports that's as brutal as American Football (if not more).

Yep. Boys are like that, I certainly was when I was younger. Sometimes you just gotta let go and let them pummel each other.

You’re the real warrior watching on the sidelines.

On the bright side, Center is one of the rarest to get major injuries.

@@bimbobagons4726 Cmon now 🤣🤣

Now days it’s over 150 million, if you’re an elite QB 300 million. Mahomes got 500, but it’s a 10 year deal. Still insane.

With high school pretty much devoid of sports gambling which allow for contests free from suspicious forms of manipulation. Even College football is suspect in my eyes.

It’s called avoiding being on the receiving end of the video they just watched. You’d wanna juke too.

U ain’t wrong bro

I always loved the crash of the pads. The sound is just so satisfying its hard to explain.

I only played up to high-school j.v. even as a kid from the time you put on your pads you start to get the adrenaline flowing and it is the greatest feeling ever.

I played football in Jr high and High school. I loved it.

I love football hopefully I can play in high school and college

I loved hitting the qb just as he was throwing the ball and hear the wind leave his body.

@@bug-lf4sg I heard in the old days, i.e. before they started getting strict on late hits and roughing the passer, it was common practice to try to nail the quarterback as hard as you could to put him in a daze. In other words, giving the quarterback a mild concussion was encouraged.

It's always fun to the rock to their hard place , eh?

Man I have never hear it described so perfectly

Yes, I wasn't allowed to hit my brothers any longer, so I had to play football. Freshman year I was 4' 11¾" tall and weighed 91 lbs. That fall I broke our qb collarbone in practice. He tried to stiff arm me, I went under it and hit him in the knee.

They pussified the sport. One of the main reason viewership started dropping in the first place. Might as well put em in tutus and be done with it.

JJ C How long have/did you play professional football?

@@laynebrock Never. Grew up playing football and have watched the nfl my entire life. You don’t need to play it to know how soft the players have gotten because of the rule changes. Dudes use to get bloody every week (this is a little before my time but true nonetheless) and be happy about it. Now, half the qb’s in the league jump around crying for flags every time they get touched. Hell half the players cry for flags no matter what happens. It’s damn near as bad as soccer. They’re just overpaid divas. It’s fuckin pathetic.

And not just the head trauma at impact but how it is years and years down the road!

@@stonecoldcowboy1817 Every single player knows exactly what it is they signed up for.
