I have a solution

newstart2380 — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 08:46:19 GMT

In all rugby football league and union a tackle is allowed by a maximum of only 2 players and if an accident occurs to hurt or incapacitate the player being tackled both tacklers are held responsible. If more than 2 players tackle an opposing team player then they are sent from the field NOT until the end of the game but for at least one week depending on the severity of the tackle.
This might help to reduce the damage caused by this hideous ego filled game by men ( haha) with to much testosterone and money.

I find union much more intersting. The stop and start of League is boring.

Your solution removes the ruck and maul from rugby union. Unworkable.
I actually think we need to acknowledge that accidents happen in contact sport. Yes he probably was raised slightly above the horizontal, but no more than happens every other week.
A tragedy for all concerned.

We should get rid of car's, buses, planes, too many people are killed and maimed because of the silly people operating them.

Dangerous contact sports which can sometimes result in the players' becoming severely injured or even slightly dead should be encouraged.

Think of it as just one more Darwinian solution to the problem of an over-populated planet.

Any "sport" that cripples and kills young people should be banned. It's a game FGS not important enough to ruin brains, kill, maim and cripple. Get rid of it.

I'm appalled that this young man has been so badly injured his life is over. I watched that tackle, 3 on one and the leg lift so he could not protect himself, sickening.

If they ignored the forward passes in league like they did in Union then it would be just as free flowing.

If they took the money out of sport and people played it (once again) for enjoyment then the world would be a better place.

I agree though that Any "sport" that cripples and kills young people should be banned"

With seven weeks still to go, 46 cyclists are dead, a national spike of 42 per cent and a third up on the ten year average.

"It's disastrous," an Amy Gillett Foundation spokesman said.

Death and injury occurs in many sports. Do we ban them all?
