16. More so College football. Catastrophic injuries/Head trauma can occur there too, but the defense is just so

damned big in the Pros (although the differences are shrinking) that I hold my breath on every tackle.

I heard a radio piece on women beginning a tackle football league (or maybe it has been around, but is just now getting more attention with some well-known men's coaches coming over)... As much as I am apprehensive on the potential for irreparable head (and other) trauma in men's football, this dedicated feminist must admit to having even a bit more when I think of tackle football for women. I may just have to get used to the concept because I certainly think women who want to play should have the option, but, wow... Women CAN be just as physical in sports as men and there are undoubtedly some who can deliver an aggressive tackle.
