We may quibble over the actual number, but it is clear that people die from playing football, every year, so the question is how many is too many? Is 25 deaths OK, but 26 not OK for our entertainment? I quit watching boxing decades ago because I didn't support the brutality, I quit watching football for the same reasons.
