There is actually some research out there about constant blows to head from a soccer ball causing brain spots. Even more so than in american football.
There has been a movement in some youth leagues to outlaw heading. I heard a segment on NPR about it. I still think football players have it much worse though. You hear a lot of these Junior Seau type stories but I haven't heard any examples in the soccer world. Plus, the concussive force in football is obviously much higher, but the repeated blows aspect of heading a soccer ball can be concerning and warrants further research.

What does this even mean. Also MLB will always be greater than NBA
It hasn't been in years? I thought everyone conceded that MLB was the third sport in the US.

at some point in my life, the order will certainly be:
NBA
NFL
MLS
MLB
NBA
NFL
MLS
MLB

You think NBA will be bigger than the NFL? I eventually see the MLS breaking into the top 3 in my lifetime.
