I mean, at some point you have to allow consenting adults to hit each other for fun and money. Contact sports are good and fun for the most part, and a broken leg or minor concussion here and there are worth it if you know that going in. The problem with football is the intensity and repetition of violence exceeds everything we don't literally call a combat sport.
Communist society would not allow duels with pistols, why should it allow American football? The state should be concerned about the safety of its citizens, it should not let those that desire to get hurt to do so because it’s their prerogative.
We must take a proactive approach on this issue so that the idea of hurting oneself in such a game does not even exist in the minds of anyone stupid enough to want to play this.
