Didn't read it, but it would be useful to compare data to other sports

Soccer's concussion data is significantly less troubling than football's.

The key word there being "girls" soccer. That's also at a prep level.

Jezza

That was a hilariously ridiculous post and you know it. It also backed my point.

Jezza

He words it wrong, but the point is there

But what on Earth does that have to do with concussions? Like I said, if
