Head trauma is head trauma. I just don't think that anyone ever really investigated any sport but football. I would think hockey players,especially in pre-helmet days, could be prime candidates. I still remember the opening scene from Jerry Maguire with his hockey player client who had so many concussions that his memory was already shot. Same thing with downhill skiers.

US soccer has implemented new rule this year banning heading the ball for kids in the under 12 age groups. I've seen crazier things happen.

We were always practicing heading. I still remember the coach telling us that,if you head the ball properly, you shouldn't really feel it. My problem with "heading" was bumping heads when two guys went up for the ball at the same time. I don't think I ever got a concussion,no symptoms at least,but I did end up with a few winner headaches.

People weren't meant to eat Big Macs either but there are plenty of McDonalds' still in business.

People weren't meant to eat Big Macs either but there are plenty of McDonalds' still in business. This begs the question, what were people meant to do? It is very simple for me... We all know the risks. Players know the risk. If you are willing to take those risks, that is your choice. It only gets complicated for me with kids... At what age should someone be deemed adult enough to make choices for themselves? I've seen crazier things happen.

I don't have time to look it up now, but there have been numerous reports of CTE (or CTE-like symptoms) in Soccer (mostly overseas), Rugby, and Aussie-rules football. And, of course, boxing.
