[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do some research- CTE is not just a problem with football. It’s pervasive in soccer, hockey, basketball, (lacrosse - TBD). Do you really not let your kids play any of those sports? [/quote] My son got a concussion playing basketball. [/quote] Yes, it's possible. But not as likely as when playing football. This is obvious.[/quote] The differences in sports aren’t as drastic as you are making it out to be. A 2019 study in Pediatrics regarding high school athletes: “Overall, the data showed that the three sports with the highest concussion rates were: Boys’ football, with 10.4 concussions per 10,000 athlete exposures. Girls’ soccer, with 8.19 per 10,000 athlete exposures. Boys’ ice hockey, with 7.69 per 10,000 athlete exposures.” And yet no one seems overly concerned about girls’ soccer.[/quote] I don't understand your logic. The exchange was about basketball.[/quote]
