I agree. Also people are looking down on football and claiming it’s because of risk of brain injury. Even though soccer is one of the highest risk sports no one mentions it because the suburban kids play it. The repetitiveness of hitting a hard ball with your bare head over and over as a teen and young adult causes long term damage.

I seen to have missed a few pages, but I’m ALSO against soccer. I just didn’t say so because the original thread is about football. My kids swim.
