In what way is that minimizing? Like seriously. Read it again.

He’s saying he believes that it isnt wrong to love and respect something dangerous. And that we as a people shouldn’t just get rid of or change every dangerous thing. The NFL and the people who play it are very aware of the dangers of the game, are trying with every passing season to make the game safer, and most importantly they CHOOSE to play this game. The people playing the game now had access to way more technology and information regarding the effects and dangers of football than the players from the 80s and further back. They know more than anyone how dangerous it is, which is good. Because they know better than anyone how to minimize the damage caused by the game they love.

No one. And i mean NO ONE. Is downplaying how dangerous football is. Strawman argument.
