In football, every play is a car crash. The line of scrimmage is an intersection with cars flying headlong at each other at top speed. To add to the mayhem, the running back comes flying through the mess, trying to get through the chaotic traffic unscathed but other linemen break off from the crash and tackle him.

Wrong. A football player is covered in padding and wears a helmate. They train constantly so that they are used to being tackled. If a football player tackled a regular sized man, then it would be like a car crashing into him. Two football players ramming into each other, in padding and helmates I must add, is like Godzilla and MechaGodzilla ramming into each other or two children tackling each other. They can take it because they are facing people their own size.
When a football player is tackled, they twist and pull their muscles all the time, but it's not very common that football players are paralized. How often do football players have head drama? Not that often.
In football, there are many more opertunities that a player will get hurt, because they play longer than cheerleaders cheer, and because it is man to man. However, cheerleaders often do fall and they often do suffer from broken bones, spine, and head injuries. So a football player may or may not have more bruises, but they suffer from less catastrophic injuries than cheerleaders.
