[QUOTE="placelast, post: 1156282, member: 22683"] The way I read it (and you can read it any way you want) is: less than one-in-one-thousand MX injuries vs. five-per-one-thousand for (euro-soccer) football. Maybe I shoiuld reread the data, though it could be subjective since there is little in common between the two sports; one is group-contact and the other individual, non-intentional contact. Basketball and soccer are are closer to each other. I remember getting just as injuried if not more in practice than actual games, physically, and surpisingly mentally as well since I never knew when one of the creeps was going to do something out of spite when the coach wasn't looking - well, he knew but ignored it and in so doing encouraged it. One creep got a bloody nose (served him well) wehn he met his match, and the other should be using a cane by now as he used to have to drain his knee! With moto it's a bit different as we are all adults and act accordingly. Back on subject. I wouldn't let our sons play football as due to the relative high rate of head and other bodily trama; too many relatives including myself had/have lasting injuries. Our sons never brought the subject up as they, like me, are skinny and small, were not considered an asset, being in a large city. In my hometown everyone who went out was on the team! Contact sports are a good and wholesome physical outlet for boys although correct prep, training, and oversight is needed to minimize lasting consequences. [/QUOTE]
