[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people do seem to be more susceptible than others. [b]Wambach had a very long lived career off of header goals[/b].

Did she wear a concussion headband? Picture would suggest not (nor do I think they were an option back then. There is a solution for this concern.  [/quote]

And how do you know she is having a normal life?  She is only 38 years old.  We don't know whether she has CTE.  The only way to confirm this is to examine her brain but it can not be done today.

The great Frank Gifford did have a normal life and passed away due to natural cause at the age of 84 and they examined his brain after his death and found CTE.

Athletes today are much stronger and faster than ever before due to advance in technology, training and nutrition and PED.  It will result in much more violence collision.  I don't think a soccer player in the 1950 can kick the ball at 80mph.  Because of advance technology in shoes, training and nutrition and performance enhancing drug (PED), the soccer ball can travel @80mph.  The last thing I want to do is having it hit my head.
