Onehippedpuppy is out if his league on this one. I know the Chief of Neurology at the Univ of Florida and worked with him and his staff on the implementation of two 3T MR's for sole purpose of tracking functional effects of concussion on football players. Long term clinical/functional damage is being assessed and it's not pretty. Truly amazes me how we place the long term health of kids behind the football insanity in this country.

My 190 lb 6'2" 15 year old is playing tennis 5 days a week and loves it. Sure, he could injure a tendon or damage a knee...but that is not brain damage. No comparison.
