      I'm not a football fan (MMA is better, obvs), but this thread is a good defense of the sport as an American tradition and source of meaning for communities and young men. https://twitter.com/Scholars_Stage/status/1092471835160043520 …

      I get that it's the official sport of the IDW because Rogan, but what's with all the MMA/football comparisons lately? (@EricRWeinstein tweeted one last night.) It's like comparing apples that cause concussions and oranges that cause concussions.

      I think the comparison is important because it illustrates how many view concussions in terms of the visceral damage we see (blood, bruises, etc). MMA is a very safe sport with relatively low levels of CTE whereas football is one of the worst.

      Helmets, padding, etc are believed to reduce CTE, although the opposite is true. Headgear was removed from olympic boxing precisely because of this.

      That's a good answer, and I certainly understand the safety issues. Just seemed like a random comment to introduce a thread about how meaningful and important football is to millions of Americans.

      It'll never not seem like an odd/random comparison to me. The solution to safety concerns in the NFL is for all of us to switch our allegiance to the UFC? I say this as a fan of both: they're completely different sports, cultures, leagues, and they both have major problems

      TBH I only mentioned MMA because some folks might assume I'm anti-sports in general.

          I honestly can't figure out why an evopsych dude would be a fan of MMA /s
