I read in the great book “Seabiscuit” that the most dangerous occupation in sports is that of jockey. Will the libs start picketing the Kentucky Derby this year?

“... most dangerous occupation in sports is that of jockey”

Our oral surgeon is now in his “busy” season. Why? Basketball is in season... lots and lots of teeth are knocked out with basketball (plus, broken jaws). Jack Lambert lost his two front teeth in a basketball game. My neurologist told me that he sees way more soccer players for concussion related injuries than football players. The attack is on football. IMHO, it is a truly AMERICAN sport so it has to be eliminated. We have to embrace soccer or some other bunk because it is what the other parts of the world enjoy. I’m not saying that there aren’t hard hits and possible injuries playing football. What I am saying is that sports in general increase the risk of injury. All sports.. soccer, baseball, basketball, gymnastics etc... With that, GO RAVENS!
