You could be right.
I couldn't speak to football that much since most of the talent from that sport comes from the south, and I'd imagine football fields are more accessible in places like Florida, Texas, Alabama, etc...
How has the nbpa allowed max contracts for so long?

Unless you're a pitcher.Baseball....
Plus if you do it right, no really bad long-term dangers like the NFL has with concussions and other broken bones/ligament damage.

Yeah.
Tommy John surgeries have exploded in recent years.
The reason for it is up for debate.
But I've read one of the doctors who performs them suggest that a reason for the surgeries isn't that adults can't handle the rigors of pitching. They can. Rather, kids these days don't have time to rest their arms. From the time they are in Little League, they're throwing all Spring, Summer, Traveling teams, Winter teams....there's no break.
Years ago you'd play other sports to give you body a break (and to strengthen other body parts) and things like that.
Seems to have some merit.
How else do you explain the surge in these arm injuries given the advancement in nutrition, physical therapy, medicine, physiology and training?
