It’s so much theater, might as well be professional wrestling
On topic of getting hurt in sports, there is this one called “jereed” where people on horseback throw javelins at each other.
It sounds fun except average game is 45 minutes of people missing each other in turns until one guy does some insane trick like catch the other guy’s javelin mid-air.
Then the announcer says in a monotone voice “2 points”, and game continues as-is with everyone missing each other in turns until the end.
Sometimes players fall off the horse and get injured for life tho.

Sure, but if you participate in combat sports you’ve got to make your peace with the fact that you are absolutely, positively going to get your bell rung at some point.
Not only that but even if you’re the one ringing the bell there’s a lot of impact force transferred on both sides. I delivered more hits than I received as a linebacker but still racked up several concussions along the way.
get your bell rung
A.k.a. traumatic brain injury.
Indeed. Combat sports are fucking dangerous.
Not for Homer Simpson
No football (gridiron)?
What quote would you use for gridiron football?
Pretty much the same as hockey, first hit of the game sets the tone and starts the party
Also the top one in the hopes of drawing a flag if possible.
