[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the posts. Warning I'm gonna be a Debby Downer. Read up on head injuries and soccer. It's not just football players dealing with cognitive issues from too many head injuries.[/quote]

Oh please...please don't compare the injury rate in American Football with European Football. Just don't. It makes you look like you don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]

And clearly you think you know more about sports than PP, but you would be wrong. A simple google search will show you tons of news making studies about soccer as a concussive sport. Also there are pretty frequent mentions of this on sports tv and talk radio and Real Sports programs. Its not being billed as being AS dangerous as American football, but its not to be ignored. Also, FWIW studies are showing that sub-concussive injuries that are even more frequent may be an even worse culprit in cognitive issues later in life for pro athletes and these are nearly impossible to report in #s.

But that's neither here nor there for OPs concern[/quote]
