its a double edge sword, it does protect their head and face but they also tend to lead with their heads and go straight for the heads of others(something they have tried to cut down on lately with penalties)

Concussion anyone?

Both brutal sports no doubt.

Yeah but the football season is too short for anyone to risk losing key players. The hockey season is long enough and these guys don't have any teeth, so no missed games do to dentist appointments.

Whats the speed of NHL players during a game?
I used to worked at a hotel where the Capitals used to stay, and many were tall, but kinda lanky, not built like Laron Landry...

Between 20 to 25 mph. Some can hit 30 if they get enough ice.

brutal hits no doubt, dont look anything more brutal than the NFL especiallly given the fact the NFL players lead with their heads a good amount of the time and not their forearms...

also given the fact the average nfl player is 50 lbs heavier than a rugby player

Are any rugby organizations being sued because of the long term health affects of their sport?

I don't buy that "top speed over 100m" because it lists times which may or may not be estimates, and it lacks an actual "speed" as in kmh/mph.
