Want to fix this? Go back to leather helmets with no facemask.

It won’t go away, but it will be continually modified to minimize impacts. Striking the ball with your head will be removed from soccer. Anyone who has ever spent much time in an armored vehicle with the military can suffer the same repeated jarring syndrome. The brain is easily bruised and public opinion is easily shaken.

A few more Hollywood movies about the problem should finish what they started.

Soccer players coming up with Parkinson’s a lot, because of the practice of “heading” the ball.

I love sarcastaball
It's so much better than football
I am so glad they got rid of violence in sports
Because sarcastaball is so super fun to watch.

'You want to know how to prevent it? Don't play. No helmet can prevent this.'

'In any other setting I would be mandated by law to report this as child abuse. These children are getting hit on the head repeatedly, and I know it is putting them at risk of neurological disease,' he told Daily Mail Online. 'But instead here I am with all the other parents cheering because our team did a good tackle.

The answer is to ban football of course. Next we need to ban hockey, boxing, MMA, UFC, racing, diving, soccer and Rugby.

In fact, the new generation of NFL players (those who came into the league with the last two seasons) are way less likely to get CTE because helmet technology has tremendously improved in the last five years.
