Syag, please explain how you have no problem with a game that the objective is to tackle someone who is running at you as fast as he can. You would be surprised how rough “the game the boys play in their suit pants in the field” can become, no matter what you’re wearing the objective is still the same, bring your opponent down to the floor as quickly as you can. i used to play with my friends (up until 2 years ago) and i have seen friends get tackled by their necks, and others bang their heads on the ground. furthermore i hate to do this to a thread, but several rebbeim in my yeshiva (as well as some local rabbanim) who we asked said it is most likely ossur to play because of the likelihood that you will cause a chaburah to your opponent (something which your opponent cant be mochel on)
