In this day and age of increased focus on sports injuries involving concussions, would you let your child play blitzball? Repeated blows to the head resulting in concussions can lead to chronic memory loss, headaches, depression, and the brain disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). With the intense physical nature of blitzball, many have begun to question whether or not the sport should be continued, or if more stringent changes to the rules protecting the ball-carrier should be enacted. Of course, blitzball is without question the most popular sport in all of Spira, the participants are paid a handsome amount of gil, and Yevon has done everything in its power to support its retired players, but does the reward outweigh the risk? Discuss.

Most certainly. Blitzball is the best.

I played it myself, quite frequently, and intend to pick it up again later this year ;)
