Exactly. My sister has two boys (I have two girls who both do karate and one is a black belt) who play hockey and football. The older one got a concussion playing hockey and missed a couple weeks of school. They both still play but she is definitely not “comfortable” with it exactly because of the concussion issue.

Hum yet many parents yelling and screaming about football etc won't think twice about giving a 16 year old a crotch rocket {high performance racing motorcycle} or a car to drive that is meant for experienced operators. Seriously I worried far more about kids in vehicles than contact sports.

Far more kids die or get critically injured in MVA's yet no one bats an eye. Yes I'm a parent who has received one of those calls. I went to the scene of the wreck as they started cutting my daughter out. Six months later after the surgeries etc she was driving again.
