You don't need to ban the whole sport - just change the rules/equipment. Rugby is more violent, but doesn't have the same rate of TBIs because they aren't ramming each other with their heads all the time. (Or so I'm told - I understand neither sport.) But ban its current version, yes.
Adults should be allowed to do whatever they like assuming everyone involved is fully informed on the consequences and consents regardless of them, no matter how stupid of a thing to do it is. Deffo agree that children's football should be banned tho.
It cannot change the way it operates and still be viable. This exploitation of labor and the melding of private interest and public funding is the very heart of the industry.
People enjoy watching sports. Let them. But the way the professional sports industry is operating definitely should change.

I agree. All "contact sports" that are so dangerous should be abolished.

Essentially, we should have sports, but no sports industrial complex.
