    Have you watched rugby? I don’t like tackle football either, but rugby takes tackling to a whole new transcendent level.

      The difference is the helmet and the pads. If football players were forced to suit up like rugby players, the injury threshold would probably be something similar. The gear makes football players think they can get hit harder while rugby players know they have to tackle in special ways or else they will hurt themselves.
