As far as the injuries you listed: Yea, football players, depending on their position, play w/ broken hands often. T.O. just played on a broken ankle. Not too ong ago steve mcnair played a week after he was laid out in a hospital because of sternum problems. Like I mentioned before, boxing appears more rough because you can see the injuries. And yea, I've seen peyton manning break his jaw and run back on the field to finish the game. Like I mentioned before **** mcnabb broke his ankle, in the first quarter mind you, and finished the game w/ +400 yards in passing. Byron Leftwich played w/ a broken bone in his leg and was able to throw lon a leg that he couldn't regularly walk on and if you know anything about football and quaterbacks, a qb's lower body is major when it comes to passing. Concussions? Steve Young was forced out the game because of concussions. Just last year Brett Favre threw a td pass w/ a concussion. I couldn't tell you how common concussions are in the nfl, and at times they don't even know until games are over. Your pictures carry no weight because pain isn't always marked by appearance and the nfl is a prime example. I can compare injuries all day, but until you recognize that injuries that occur in football are just as severe as they are in boxing then it's pointless.

I mean, you DO know why they cut rounds from 13, 14 and 15 right? I haven't met a football player that can box for more than 2 rounds, by the way. Even against little ol me.

Man boxing ain't no joke. Just looking at that clip and those pics makes me cringe. That sport should be illegal for real. Granted football is hella physical, but it just doesn't compare to gettin the snot beat out of you with no form of protection.
