Big ****ing deal.
When I was a senior in high school in the mid-80's, I could bench press 225, run a 4.7 forty and was the second fastest guy on a State Championship football team in Kansas. I weighed 160 pounds (and wasn't all that good at football, quite honestly).
Guys today are 275 pounds, bench 600 and run a 4.7 forty. The collisions can be catastrophic, leading to brain injury, early death, etc. If you think that letting men of that size and speed collide into unprotected men at will, I'm sorry, but you're ****ing moron.

To compare your days in PeeWee football with the NFL is funny at best. You think guys liked to try and tackle Jim Brown? You think it was fun getting hit by guys like Ronnie Lot? This is such a silly argument. While I will say a lot of players are bigger and faster now, they also have sooo many more rules like no clotheslines leading with helmet etc. etc. I don't think there is a big comparrison myself. That is just MY opinion.
