Falling off the ladder causes a lot of headed injuries all over the country. I for one would like them to go away. I don’t like getting on them. Many activities that we do in daily life causes had injuries. It’s horrible when it happens, but I don’t think we should stop doing the things we love.

I hear there's big money and lots of teevee shows dedicated to the ladder fall playoffs.

As for your analogy, the status quo is a bad ladder designed to break.

I’m a consumer of professional soccer entertainment not horror shows. They slow the game considerably and jeopardize the well-being of the best athletes.

Whether or not they consented to having their faces smashed in by lesser players is irrelevant to me.

Dumfries for Inter, arriving late, just caused a head crash with Fati for Barcelona with no foul called. Sickening. Strict liability principles should apply.
