The irony is that the parents who are "protecting" their kids by keeping them away from football are moving them into soccer, which is a MAJOR concussion sport.

Soccer 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.

Though it's probably more fair to say that playing football potentially leads to a whole host of issues, of which concussions are only one (albeit a major) part.
