No problem. It's just that I really was curious about that heading the ball thing. In fact in your link it says “What’s unique about this study is this is the first study ever to quantify heading as an exposure,”

Very interesting study. Never thought about it but the ball is quite heavy indeed, and as the article states the real bulk of soccer heading happens during practice sessions, so it does make sense.

It is sad to say how come they didn't care to do any studies before then. There are so many studies about head and neck injuries in American football.

They don't even talk about that here. :disapp:

Well, I can understand for USA because American football it's a huge thing. Far more popular than football and far more money in it.

And I think it is mostly the fighters/enforcers in hockey who have shown the highest rates of CTE.

Might be the result from all those fights. :biggrin:

My daughter quit hockey because one of the boy came after her with the stick. :slink:
