occer has to be doing something right on that front, though or the risks are still not as great as playing in the NFL because it doesn't seem (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that soccer players are suffering such egregious effects from playing their sport, post career.
The big problem in football is chronic traumatic encephalopathy, not necessarily the concussions themselves. CTE is caused by a history of multiple concussions as well as subconcussive hits. So while there may be a comparable number of concussions in soccer, I don't think there are nearly as many routine, subconcussive hits to the head.
