[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 681607, member: 265"] Here's a brief on recent research on the effects of football on brain development and brain disease: [URL]https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/should-parents-be-afraid-to-let-their-kids-play-football/[/URL] Short article: so far the results are inconclusive, but alarming. And parents are reacting to that. Missing data = comparisons with brain damage in soccer. Problem = the more conclusive this gets - and the big epidemiological studies in train now will tell us more fairly soon - the more likely it will be that football will find itself with smaller and smaller numbers of kids playing. And, hence, college age players. And, hence, fans. [/QUOTE]
