When Football was dangerous

from Daniel Riley Sports Talk Radio · host Dan Riley

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.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daniel-riley-sports-talk-radio--4211915/support.🎙 From Passionate World Talk Radio Network — where real conversations matter.
