The entire concussion thing in an invention of the Left to transform America into a soccer playing nation like the rest of the world.

Football is an inherently violent game. Soccer is accessible for everyone and you don't have to lose your mind playing the game.

Couldn’t stand soccer from the moment they tried to foist it off on us in the 60s, in high school P.E. G what a boring game.

Baseball is supposed to be a boring game. By comparison there are countless possibilities on each and every pitch to the plate.

In Soccer, it’s this perpetual running to and fro. Big whoop.

I realize the guys are in great shape, and some of the things they do with the ball are incredible. Not enough.

If you actually look at the numbers, soccer has a high concussion rate. Womens gymnastics is right up there with football in terms of concussion rates. Womens ice hockey has the highest rate of concussion.

In comparing soccer and football, most football is played at the high school level. Only a small percentage of players are able to continue playing at the college level. For those whose career ended at the high school level, there are no adult community tackle football leagues to speak of.

For the vast majority of football players, concussion risk ends with high school.

Organized soccer on the other hand is played much later in life. By the time a community adult soccer league player who never played in college is 30, he/she will have greatly exceeded the concussion exposure of the football player who had no choice but to stop playing at the high school level.

The Left loves soccer because it is played all over the world. The left also hates football because it is so popular in America. Feminists hate football because no one is interested in watching women play football unless the players are wearing lingerie.

Soccer is brain damaging from viewing it. If a more stupid ball sport than soccer has been invented, I have yet to see it.
