I beg to differ. American football is a rather cerebral sport, and I used
to enjoy it, but I pretty much gave it up for cerebral reasons, those being
the cerebral injuries suffered by the players. I gave up watching boxing
decades ago for that reason.

If it weren't for the traumatic brain injuries, I'd probably still be a
football enthusiast. The only sport left that I really enjoy watching is
gymnastics, though I do sometimes watch skateboarding with my son, who is
super into it. He's got a cast on right now for a double fracture of his
left thumb, suffered on Sunday.

I'd like to see skateboarding become an Olympic sport because the
international athletic folks would require helmets and wrist guards, which
would help normalize the use of those by skaters.
