When I was younger, I played football. As a defensive player in football—it's a collision sport, as was mentioned before—you try to lay a hit down on the other player and knock him down with great force in a lot of circumstances. I think there is a risk for spinal cord injuries. I know that when I played, it was always at the back of your mind. You were taught how to execute these hits and execute the skill level in this so that you would avoid spinal cord injuries.
But all sports, even non-collision sports, even in things like golf.... In golf, there are golf balls flying around in the air. You take steps to try to protect yourself. But isn't it the fact that all sports inherently do have some danger in them, and isn't it the fact that mixed martial arts is, I guess, a combat sport. Is that really what the CMA is against or is it really out to try to make all sports safer?
