[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People with any sense have always known it was stupid to play football. My mom knew this back in the 70s.[/quote] +100 My older brother was beyond pissed my parents wouldn't him play football in the early 80s. Soccer was a sissy sport for boys he was told--but at 6'3 could kick most people's ass that said that. He ended up full-ride, all-American and a pro-career--ad a CTE-free brain.[/quote] Okay, I'm a huge soccer fan, played in college, and will definitely let my kids play (but not American football), but soccer isn't exactly safe either. There's been research coming out that repeated heading is bad for brains too. They are preventing kids from doing it until a certain age. Might explain why I don't seem quite as smart as I was when I was young...[/quote]
