[quote=Anonymous]The mistake many people seem to think and the media seems to think is that football is the only sport where this matters. As others have stated, ice hockey and lacrosse have significant risks too (and these are fast-growing sports in America for youth). Also, girls' soccer has a high rate of concussions, generally the highest among girls' sports. Yet all we hear about girls' soccer is the Title IX-infused "you go girl" type language about the women's national team promoting the game to young girls. Girls playing soccer get BRAIN DAMAGE, just like football players. This is because soccer for girls is rather competitive and physical, and girls' bodies are not built for contact sports. And now there are girls playing ice hockey. Seriously?? How stupid are THOSE parents.[/quote]
