why don't we hear more about concussions/injuries?
The speed of football players > the speed of hockey players. It's not a matter of toughness, it's a matter of the extra force football players can generate due to their athleticism and larger playing surface.

The speed of football players is most certainly not greater than the speed of hockey players. It is simply the nature and frequency of hits that make it more violent.
Athleticism also has nothing to do with it.

LINK? Pretty sure this is not a factual statement.
It's because there are hits every play in football, much more frequently than in hockey.

Really, now? You realize that you can skate a lot faster than you can run, right?

You aren't familiar with hockey. Most players skate within the 21-24MPH range at top speed and have boards/glass as boundaries and a hard ice playing surface. The fastest football players max out at 20-22 MPH and that's usually open field once they get a head of steam.
Hockey has a ton of concussions and its a huge problem. Watch the Boogard documentary on the NY Times website it will scare the shite out of you when they show his brain damage.

hockey players on skates go significantly faster than football players. speed skaters can go 30+ miles per hour
