Are sports injuries becoming more prevalent? No. If anything injuries have DECREASED. The difference is that the injuries are being treated now.
Don't believe me? Watch NFL games from the 50's and 60's. Cornerbacks would let Wide Receivers catch the ball, just so they could nail them to knock the ball loose. That doesn't count the clotheslines, the facemasks, and all the penalties the refs didn't even call. You look at the hands of linemen and they don't look even close to natural. A trainer doesn't even look at them, they just tape them up and send the lineman back out.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
