When Football was dangerous

  • Summary


  • In the 1800s, football was extremely dangerous and difficult to defend. It was modeled after overseas games in which entire towns participated, and protective gear like helmets didn’t exist. As a result, players faced serious injuries and fatalities, with deaths occurring regularly. Thankfully, the sport has evolved, and many of these extreme risks have been mitigated over time.
