Why does everyone get mad about concussions in football, but MMA just keeps on trucking?

I wouldn't think mma would have the same rates. In mma you get concussion and knock outs but not week after week like contact sports

Very true, arguably a defender in English Football could see more trauma playing every week the whole year than a martial arts professional having 1-2 fights a year. Besides some bloody fights and refs not ending the fight I find it watchable. But it‘s also a different context, you decide to become a professional fighter then you‘re signing up to get fked up. Football players are supposed to play ball in both Handegg and Football.

You misspelled boxing.

MMA actually has LESS concussions becos the target area ist focused on the head like in classic boxing.

In mma there is also grappling which often takes over, ie less brain damage risks.

There was more money made in two weekends of the nfl than in all of the MMA for the year.

Yeah, which makes me think there would be more leniency for the NFL than the UFC.
