I personally mostly think of head injury. As someone who has dealt with a number of concussions I understand the long-term damage it can cause.

I don't really care how crazy a body hit may be, but I can appreciate the head protection all though I'm quick to admit the game got too soft for awhile with overprotection of certain players.

It’s somewhat unavoidable. I remember when they started penalizing hits to the head, players started hitting low and destroying player’s knees. And now we have issues with the hip drop tackles. It’ll get better though.
