He said football so I pictured this 🏈 (American sport that involves tackling) then my first thought was traumatic brain injury, then someone said, no not that kind of football. This kind of football ⚽ and I said ok I wonder if there are any non- American ball sports that involve tackling which cause traumatic brain injury. Rugby, perhaps? Does rugby involve tackling? Which nobody answered my question but only insulted me because you're all still hung up on the misunderstanding & you're still thinking I don't know the difference between ⚽ and 🏈 .
