The biggest problem with football is how violent it is. Now no one dies on the field, but cte rates are incredibly high for anyone that plays. Helmets were a quick solution to prevent deaths, but the rules of the game need to be changed to prevent these terrible long term brain injuries.
I don't really know what the solution would be beyond massive changes to the contact rules.
