    I’ve played sports my whole life. Never has there ever been a sport where the goal is to “injure the other player”.

    Your ignorance is showing. I’ve accidentally hurt others, and others have unintentionally hurt me. Shit happens. I’ve torn a muscle in my shoulder from a bad hit in hockey. I’ve also severely sprained my ankle walking to my driveway. If you want to bubble wrap your kids and protect them from all the harm in the world, enjoy raising a completely incompetent leech on society that is dependant on you their whole life.

      Boxing. MMA. In both of those, concussing knocking out your opponent is a win

      Not sure if genuinely ignorant or just contrarian maxxing

        I could ask the same thing.

        Which team sport is designed around intentionally injuring the other players?
