While I am raining on the football parade, hey, why quit. :-) The
headline right now on cnn.com is this time magazine article entitled
"Football Too Dangerous?":

Part way down that article is this a Time video "This is Your Brain
on Football" that graphically shows the effect of football on the
brain. There's a story of a pro player who retired happily but was
dead a few years later in his mid forties. Twelve out of twelve
brains of ex football players that were studied showed clearly a
dangerous degenrative brain disease. See the head-to-head hit of a
couple of eight-year-olds at the end:

So the theological justification of football is what?? Sort of like
the theological justification for smoking ...
