[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you can get injured or concussion with other sports but tackle football ,the percentage of getting serious injury is too high .  
So nah , I’m not letting my kids play.  No racism here or whatsoever!!![/quote]

Sure.  But the point people are making is that people say stuff like you just said, but let their daughters play soccer, or their sons play basketball.

Basketball athletes are the most likely to go the ER.  Female soccer athletes are the second most likey to get a concussion.

I'm not saying football isn't dangerous; it is.

But people act like youth football is thunderdome or the hunger games.  Its not[/quote]

You keep confusing CTE statistics, which show that boxing and football are in a class by themselves in this country, and concussion rates.  Yes, concussions are a concern in multiple sports.  The one place I could find stats on CTE's though it was 66% in pro football players and 9% in basketball. That's an enormous difference.
