Pro football is 100 yrs old... is level of brain injury higher now? Leo Nomellini played 49er tackle for 14yrs in the 50s -60s without missing a game. died at 76 yrs old...evidently w/o brain damage. was he not hit as hard?

Other contact and semi contact ball games like soccer and rugby have gradually changed rules on aggressive tackling and this has meant attacking players have an advantage on defensive players a lot of the time, creating more exciting play.
