Football is a very physical sport. Unfortunately injuries (concussions, ACLs, paralysis, etc.) are part of the game and it's a risk every time you put on the pads. One guy that I follow closely as somewhat of a role model is Eric LeGrand, the defensive lineman from Rutgers who was paralyzed following a tackle in 2010. He's accomplished some great things for the community since his injury. I suggest you give him a search if you're not familiar with him.

I personally don't like any of the hit rules that the officials have implemented into the game because it takes away from the sport. If you don't like contact, I suggest you play golf or another non-contact sport. Of course that's just my opinion.
