Jim Nantz Is Full of It

The fucking conversation about football brain injuries should transcend political leanings, but nooooooooooooooo!

You maroons have to criticize the President over his words.

Are you telling me you wouldn't care enough about your son playing football given the evidence out there?

How do you think Junior Seau's parents feel?

As far as Nantz, he's full of shit.

During the study period, 1936 concussions were reported during 7,780,064 athlete-exposures (AEs) for an overall injury rate of 2.5 per 10,000 AEs. The injury rate was higher in competition (6.4) than practice (1.1) (rate ratio [RR], 5.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.2-6.3). The majority of concussions resulted from participation in football (47.1%, n = 912), followed by girls’ soccer (8.2%, n = 159), boys’ wrestling (5.8%, n = 112), and girls’ basketball (5.5%, n = 107). Football had the highest concussion rate (6.4), followed by boys’ ice hockey (5.4) and boys’ lacrosse (4.0). Concussions represented a greater proportion of total injuries among boys’ ice hockey (22.2%) than all other sports studied (13.0%) (injury proportion ratio [IPR], 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.1; P < .01). In gender-comparable sports, girls had a higher concussion rate (1.7) than boys (1.0) (RR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.0). The most common mechanisms of injury were player-player contact (70.3%) and player–playing surface contact (17.2%). In more than 40% of athletes in sports other than girls’ swimming and girls’ track, concussion symptoms resolved in 3 days or less. Athletes most commonly returned to play in 1 to 3 weeks (55.3%), with 22.8% returning in less than 1 week and 2.0% returning in less than 1 day.

CONCLUSION: Peak accelerations as measured at the surface of the head were 160 to 180% greater from heading a soccer ball than from routine (noninjurious) impacts during hockey or football, respectively. The effect of cumulative impacts at this level may lead to neurologic sequelae.

I have no doubt there's risk of concussions from heading soccer balls. Just not in the numbers Nantz and you idiots are saying.

We need improved helmets to prevent these injuries.

Another example of a hypocritical liberal ignoring anything that doesn't fit their narrow myopic view.

You are ignoring the conditions put on the comparison that you cited. When you compare apples to apples and consider the rate of concussions per game/practice, football has a much higher risk.

That might have something to do with more youth playing football, then soccer.
Kind of like: If there are more red cars, on the road, compared to blue cars; then you might just expect there to be more red cars involved in accidents, then blue cars.

No, the rate of concussion per game/practice is higher for football. It's not just that more people are playing. The chance of suffering the injury is more likely in football.

You cited a study that shows the speed of impact in a header play is higher than in routine impacts in football and hockey. That does not change the fact that football is more dangerous.
