Its not as great as its crcked up to be, but i never think about going to my doctor, as it costs nothing.
If i test positive with a takehome test, they say to stay home, and only certain groups of the population have ever been eligible to get lab tests.

Ontario, canada. We have a trump-light premier of our province, doug ford. You might have heard of his brother, rob ford, the crack smoking mayor of toronto who died a few years ago, Rob Ford.

I…theres a lot here.
You could easily burn 5000 calories, walk 10000 steps etc working as a cook in a restaurant on a saturday shift. I wouldnt call it a sport strictly because it burns calories.
Yes the culture that you should play through the pain is bad. Yes rugby is also inherently violent but soccer is not. Soccer is easy to change to minimize injuries.
Ya, idiots find sports without unnecessary violence boring. But hockey wont be boring if we just take out the fighting at the least. It didnt get boring when they started wearing helmets that made it harder to see players faces. It didnt get boring when icing was implemented. We live in a society where we can make the rules and people can be taught that watching people hurt each other as a side effect shouldnt be a thing.
(There is nuance here, as i dont call for getting rid of, say fighting sports like boxing, but if the objective is to chase a ball around and get it into a net, violence doesnt have to be a component for it to be entertaining.)
You do whitewater kayaking too, but dont want your kids to do it? Why not? you can teach them to reduce the risks by getting their roll strong and to always lean towards the rock etc. Why wouldnt you want your kids to do the fun stuff you did? Do you let them ride bikes? Cars always want to murder me on the road, but it doesnt mean i should give up bicycling.
There is always going to be risks associated with lots of stuff, the key is to minimize those risks where reasonable. (Like i wouldnt want my kid to do free climbing unless he was one of the best climbers in the world or something, but its his choice to do so when he gets older)

Football is inherently dangerous and violent. So is hockey. But the other sports are not violent.
But there are ways to make it safe for kids and minimize injuries like concussions. Kids dont do headers in soccer anymore. Touch football should be a thing. There is no hitting in hockey below a certain age, and skill level.
Dont write off all team sports because certain ones glorify violence at the professional level.
But i would still like sports to involve physical exertion. Ive never gotten out of breath playing chess or shooting bad guys in call of duty. Why cant we just call them games, not sports?

Because theyre practically deaf because they didnt wear ear protection because its the macho thing to do.
Just using a circular saw you can get hearing damage. Same thing with a hammer.

Yup she was trying to make excuses to explain why the majority of abusers are women. Its very close to being r/everydaymisandry.
“Well its mens fault women are the majority of abusers because men force women to stay home they also skip out on their families” - thats my paraphrase.
