Football has a very very very extensive history of injuries and how they happened.

These rules that exist in regards to practiSe exist for a reason. It's the same reason why we warm up indoors and not run six-hour practices at 105 degrees outside.

It's incredible that this even has to be discussed.

Also incredible the NCAA and NFL talk about player safety all the time and yet we get 5 games in November 3 of them on the road

But that’s none of my business

💯
However, war is an extreme circumstance.
Human genetics hasn’t changed.
What has changed, especially here in America, is how easy life has been for most people
Compared to 100 years ago.
That easy life as the saying goes makes soft men.

And we are seeing the consequences of that.

Facts. 98% of this board couldn’t even last during the Stretching portion of a College practice.

I would be shocked to find out that only 2% of this board's posters were not former college athletes. But, perhaps I am mistaken.

Jfc I love when people think they’re being all tough and punching down on other generations.

Whole today (practice 5) is technically the first day they can be full pads They can only have eight total full contact days the entire camp.

Lets just get this over and make it flag football.

I won't comment on that, considering it would be considered a derailment, but I'd suggest, for your own sake, to compare the situation of the average idiot to the one of the 70s and 80s.

You'll figure something out. That's all I'll say.

True story. The same virtual bad ****s longing for the era of 3-a-days with full contact all the time, with coaches walking over the injured players on the ground on the way to other side of field so they can resume scrimmaging without the bodies getting in the way, are the same Gents who pass out washing their car on a warm sunny day on their driveway.

I know were talking college but

way back in the day when I played high school ball, we had a DC who was an ex-marine sniper. He wore sunglasses even inside and if he ever took them off you knew **** was about to hit the fan. talk about 3 a days.. he was the definition of the coach who pushed to the absolute limit with zero regards for health, stepped on and over injured players like they were peasants.
He ran "Lazer Line" which was standard before every practice that consists of two players lying on their backs across from each other then at whistle blow hopping up turning around and colliding face mask to face mask full speed whoever was stronger got pancaked or if it was an even fight it turned into just grabbing each other's jerseys and smashing face mask to face mask until one gave up... I don't want to sound like a ***** but parents teachers' coaches today would **** their pants if they witnessed a Lazer line. Mental and physical health took a backseat to winning which was the norm.
Our OC who had a passion for waking up at 4 am for an 8mile run then hitting the weight room before starting the school day followed by his deep addiction to chewing tobacco and covering the field with massive globs of it was something else. Imagine being tackled face mask first into his tobacco grass dirt covered saliva all while he's yelling spit flying at you "your slower than a turtle moveee your assss!"...
The O-line D-Line coach played for the dolphins but got injured the year before the 1972 season, so he understandably had some anger problems to say the least lol Standing at 6'8 the man didn't have time for any hog molly who wasn't a starter, if you weren't a beast lineman or a starter caliber athlete you didn't exist, the man called me "boy" for 2 years straight lmao

They were all three teachers lol. Math, Physical Fitness and Driver's ED. The head coach compared to them was just a normal dude haha
