The reason I hadn't played in so long was because I had to get 13 stitches under my eye last time I played. And since I don't have health insurance, that's $1500 that came out of my own pocket. I took a few years off after that, but had to go back again.
This is where I love to point out that I live in Canada and we pay for our health care with our taxes. Sure we pay high taxes up here but I personally feel that the money is worth it (for the most part).
A lot of my buddies and I who fight will also get together for a game of football on the weekend. We don't do it too often but I know what you're talking about. I'd rather fight with the armour on than play football. We don't get injured as often as football player... sure we get hurt but it's seldom worse than a bruise. On top of that, lining up to hit someone with a stick is much more of a rush... you really should try it some time.
Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
