Is the damage American Football causes to its players a valid reason for disliking the activity?

They know the risks and accept them. If it were dogfighting there might be an argument. I don't like football simply because I find it a bit boring. However, perhaps ironically to some, I like baseball; it's like fishing, mildly hypnotic with occasional bursts of excitement.

How do you square that with high school football, where the participants are minors? Would there even be a NFL without high school leagues?

So do people who eat fast food also know & accept the risks or are they ignorant?
