Usually happens to Italians if I'm.not mistaken.




Several soccer players have actually been found to have CTE in autopsies. And a recent study showed that soccer players had reduced gray matter, more signs of cortical thinning, and structural damage in the brain in comparison to track and tennis athletes.

Heading the ball doesn't seem like a lot, but it's more impact than the human head is designed to take. It's not as dangerous as American football obviously, but soccer isn't a "safe" sport in terms of potential brain injury.

Don't know why this thread is taking shots at football players...most of them couldn't play soccer.

Should be taking shots at bball players. That's where our top athletes tend to go.
the most explosive athletes on the planet are in the nfl doe
if they chose footballfootball instead of gridiron football they could most definitely play pro
there are athletes at positions like rb/db/cb more athletic than any player to ever step on a pitch

international football>>>>>>gridiron football as far as an investment of athleticism murican athletes not thinking

Act like their aren't a million soccer players and 99.99% will never make 5 million per year.

Only ones like Ronaldo and Messi make real money.

Have you ever seen the AAU circuit? Our best athletes play basketball. Eventually the height bias in basketball ends up weeding them out. If they had focused on soccer instead they would be beasting

I heard it's more dangerous for young girls.

All NFL players should be soccer players
I know they would probably be trash and play in some trash league
but they could be a goalkeeper
