Teddy Roosevelt, that paragon of masculinity, helped lead a campaign to change football at the turn of the century due to head injuries leading to death. I'm sure there were people like you calling them names.

The collisions of modern football are far more violent than then. Helmets prevent death, but even in our own ND family we've lost people to CTE.

I thought the call was wrong. I'd rather have wrong calls then no-calls. Leading with the crown of the helmet or attacking a player above the shoulders brings nothing to the game. I played rugby, where those kinds of hits have been illegal for decades.
