Football is a game and can leave players with trauma. Why couldn’t chess?

I don't recall anyone blowing their knee out from chess, or getting a concussion. 

Someone once actually got a concussion from playing chess….

In 1251, a chess player in Essex lost a chess game, which angered him so badly that he stabbed his opponent to death.

 

chess can be rough sometimes.

Oop. Someone started crying in my chess club after I beat them.

Most traumatizing experience that I had was when someone in the chess club I was in tripped against the leg of a table, and started choking on a bishop.

My most traumatizing experience was when I was finishing a game up in material. I noticed my opponent only had six seconds left, so I let him get a queen. He times out, but the judge made us “finish the game”
