thoughts?
Where are the cheerleaders, gymnasts, and soccer players? Softball, baseball, field hockey and lacross should be up there too. IIRC, cheerleading has far more concussions than football and it is every bit as dangerous. Oh wait, no one is arguing that cheerleaders and others should be paid.

Um, that doesn't seem right.
Study on cheerleader health risks
quote:
The new study is the first to compare injury rates of high school-sanctioned cheerleading to other sports. Using a large national sports injury database, Currie and his colleagues found that while overall injury rates among cheerleaders were lower than most other high school sports, the injuries that do occur are more severe.
Did you mean to say that if you are injured, then as a cheerleader you're more likely to suffer a concussion? That seems to be what the study indicates.
