[quote=Anonymous][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]

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]

Concussions are prevelant in soccer. Soccer is a great sport and a sissy sport.[/quote]

I don't believe he ever had one.  He was Gatorade National player, pro, etc. ...and a striker for most of his career which tends to take the brunt of the abuse.

My sister and I both played all the way in college.  She tore her ACL before there was arthroscopic surgery (nasty recovery).  The worse I had was strained ligaments in my ankle from a bad twist--it's still my wobbly one--but no pain.

Then again, back then we weren't really 'identifying' injuries so much either.[/quote]
