For me it's anything involving cars or horses, also american football, and sumo, how about anything in general that intentionally harms the players health just by playing?

can it even be fixed? would it be remotely the same sport? better to just get rid of it probably

How dare you threaten my caveman sport of hitting each other with giant clubs until one of us collapses?!?
i'd rather watch that than football, at least
(yeah yeah i know it's also bad)
it definitely can be. rugby is similar and doesn't have the same head injury problem because the rules mandate wrap up tackles and, ironically, because they don't wear pads and helmets. the pads and helmets actually made things worse from a TBI perspective.
EDIT: It turns out Rugby does still have a concussion problem. RIP
is that, like, just less fucked than american football, or actually not a problem at all?
actually, your question had me do more research, and I think I was wrong. it seems that rugby still has a problem with head injuries.
Probably true. Unless it become professional touch football. Current football is somehow safer than it used to be FFS.
Flag football, while incredibly dorky, solves this and makes refereeing clearer.
Actually, being incredibly dorky is a plus.
