FWIW for all you Soccer Moms out there, heading a ball is a direct trauma to your little tot’s brain. In Football your kid wears a protective helmet and direct head trauma is not a rule of the game. In soccer you are required to use your little noggin to advance the ball.

My son plays high school football. Before I gave my blessing for him to go out for the team, I asked my neurologist about head injuries/broken necks/ etc.. He told me he seldom sees football players but he has a lot of soccer players. Soccer’s head injuries are being ignored because the world likes soccer. We have to become like the world, don’t you know!

The forces involved with ‘heading’ a soccer ball and running headlong into a tackle at full speed are not even comparable.

Succer isn’t a sport; it’s training to accept unjust authority, and align with gangs.

We got the speech from the doctor during a sports physical checkup.

Instead of providing liability limits, to preserve the game, if the legislators had any common sense and compassion, they would outlaw playing it, due to the serious risks. And I mean outlaw, PERIOD, not just outlaw it at the professional or paid level.
