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.

So you think that the number of injuries are the same, it's just that we are more likley to treat them? This could be true - I'm not sure I fully understand what you are getting at.
