soccer is #1 in concussions per capita. Not even close.

It is as Rush said this week. American football is all American. The global communists won’t be happy until they destroy our American identity.
You are fooling yourself, if you think this is about football. Once the NFL is gone, it will be soccer next, or baseball, or rugby. The leftists are never satiated.... they just move on to the next battlefield and become victorious.. and march on and on and on.
My problem with the NFL is not the injuries. You know what you’re getting into when you sign up to play.
My problem with the NFL is that it’s overrun with America haters, convicted felons, and cheaters.
I am hoping that I live long enough to see the leftists attack badminton.
If women would go after girls softball or gymnastics the way they demonize football, they may have some credibility. As they do not, I don’t take hypocrites seriously.
I suppose they worry more about football because they are worried that these future female husbanks (ie womens’ personal atms) may damage their earning power.
This humbug started about ten years ago with a former NFL offensive lineman who was never hurt playing football. He suffered a neck injury in professional wrestling then went after pro football. Go figure.
but soccer stops global warming and helps women have abortions. Is it me or is there some correlation between commies/liberals and soccer. God soccer sucks - hey kick the ball out bounds again and lets pretend that the action in soccer doesn’t stop. Then there is that crooked FIFA that made Juan Antionio Samurai sp look like piker. Maybe we should put Mitt Romeny in charge of FIFA it’d be a twofer
Football used to be All American.
“My problem with the NFL is that it’s overrun with America haters, convicted felons, and cheaters.”
I have to agree, and I used to love football. Instead of thanking God every day that they get to play a game and become very wealthy, too many players seem to have an attitude of entitlement.
I think it is the game that is the problem. A lot of todo about some yardage.
It’s the lefties.
I suspect there are few concussions in rugby since you cannot spear, cannot tackle above the shoulders and you have to roll off the ball as soon as you are on the ground and you can only go into the pile from the 180 degrees on your side
Haven’t watch football in 2 years, College or Pro. Never felt better doing other stuff on Saturday and Sunday. Both support anti-conservative values, I hope they both die off.
I am happily cheering for the day when professional football crashes and burns.
Yet, I hate the nanny state.
Ooh, I don't know. I am still leaning towards the crash and burn side. NFL, good riddance however it happens I guess.
Agreed....no helmets. Let's apply some common sense. Soccer has been played by billions more worldwide than football, probably for a lot longer. Why aren't billions more zombies walking around. B'bye, Ed Cunningham...you'll not be missed and be proven to be a gullible fool.
Interesting point. He might be right. No mention of Hockey. Lol. Although a lot of Americans like Hockey, it is probably a sport that more Liberals and Canucks (redundant and double entendre, I know) like it so it doesn’t count.
I’ve seen the crippling effect of college football on a strong man in my family. No, it was not worth the years of suffering. Spine, knees, neck, ankles... Someone else can wreck their bodies for your “fun”, but it won’t be my family anymore.
