I practice Karate, there is a pretty steep emphasis on the topic of what is alright and what is out of line.
Coming from that it's probably a lot safer than playing football.
The number of people in the recent years that were injured to the point of having to burry all their ambitions to come back to pro soccer, or just simply life a normal life again, is an aspect of the sport I find pretty disgusting.
Especially since it does not have to be that way.
Soccer is a sport that does emphasis non contact play, though that holding, griping and pulling, kicking and punching everywhere lets one assume otherwise.
The players play unfair, irresponsibly and brutish and often enough you wonder if they are in control of themselves at all and if they are, their coldblooded way would shock as they practically try to damage each other for the rest of the game; That's not the idea of soccer is it?
It really varies from league to league and club to club and player to player, but it's not okay anywhere.
