[QUOTE="Illiini, post: 1391091, member: 625513"] Wait until someone figures out that heading a soccer ball rattles the brain around in the skull. I don't know what the frequency of headers is--I never played and don't watch the game--but surely as much as the routine head contact in football. With football you can at least try to mitigate head injuries, but with soccer, like boxing, it's really part of the game. Boxing is obviously more severe than soccer, but I can see the same issues being raised. This of course leads to a discussion of all sports. How dangerous, and how easy is it to mitigate, injuries in any sport. Snowboarding anyone? [/QUOTE]
