I should clarify... I don’t think it will hurt us now... it will likely hurt us later down the road from parents putting more focus on a “safer” sport other than football.... kids who have played football their whole lives will continue to play unless they ride the bench all season

This really burns my goat. Football, per capita, is safer than soccer, basketball, cheerleading...… Parents listen too much to the media and the natural knee jerk reaction to the news. Drama and scare tactics sell papers and news spots on the news. Are concussions bad? YES! But concussions occur in all sports, especially Soccer.

I am not griping at you, Wildcat. Just getting on my soapbox.
