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?

    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.
