Contact sports are just so… male. Of course we can’t just go right out and ban major sports like football, but we can certainly start to pick off a few stragglers. And, let’s see, what can we find… ooh, look, head injuries! Perfect!

Nobody wants children with long-term brain damage.

The text, however, keeps going back to the issue of it being “intentional”. I guess they gave the text writing to one of the brain-damaged kids.
