Current Connection: April 8

                     Injury in sports is something that can not be controlled, but the long lasting impact on these injuries can forever cripple a human being."A study from Imperial College London in England shows that the average force of a soccer "header" is similar to a punch to the head by an amateur boxer." This is very serious thing, I can relate because I used to play soccer and I spent a lot of time at the doctors. In the quote its proving this is a big issue to begin with. "Linked soccer headers to brain damage, even players who hadn't suffered concussions." Brain damage is serious, the impact from the ball could ruin a person's game forever. If that was me playing I would just quit if that ever happened to me.

                        The bigger question to people is to allow others to slowly  hurt themselves, or to crack down the whip and take extra safety measures. "Proper heading technique can prevent injuries." I think that is good because in softball there is masks to wear in the field. Yes, in the games your going to rough but safety comes first. "Research on whether helmets can prevent soccer head injuries inconclusive." This reasonable because people could be dead because of this header skill. In the game it could mess up your game because you can't get full movement with the helmet.
