Sports and Concussion!

THE LATEST STUDY OUT:

IS NOT GOOD FOR THE "SLAM BANG" TYPE SPORTS - I.E. AMERICAN FOOTBALL, ICE HOCKEY.

WAY TOO MAY CONCUSSIONS TAKE PLACE IN SUCH SPORTS. TOO MANY GETTING TOO MANY CONCUSSIONS, THAT CAN HAVE SERIOUS LIFE LONG EFFECTS.

COMMON SENSE....YES JUST GOOD OLD COMMON SENSE, SHOULD TELL US THAT GETTING YOUR HEAD BASHED AROUND IN "BOXING" "AMERICAN FOOTBALL" AND "ICE HOCKEY" ..... WELL IT JUST AIN'T GOOD FOR YOU, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

So for decades now we have had this "macho" man-stuff, that doing away with the often wild "body-checks" and "fist fights" in ice hockey as it is in the NHL of North America, just would not be the same game.

I remember very well one game. Way back in the 1970s. The Russian National team was over here playing some of the NHL hockey clubs. It was the middle of the playing season. They were to play Montreal. Now the two teams must have before start time, said, neither team would do any body-checking. Obviously the players on the Montreal team did not want to get injured and out of playing the regular NHL schedule.

It was one of the most EXITING games of ice hockey I've ever seen - back and forth from one end to the other - fast and exciting - just real good old fashioned SKILL!  The Russian or Soviet Union team finally won 7 to 6. But my oh my what a super game of plain skill. So it can be done - just skill - no slam-bang rough stuff, just skill and speed.

Then quite frankly, some "sports" so-called (boxing one of them) JUST WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE AGE TO COME. And some other sports will have to have a make-over, like American/Canadian Football (still do not know why it's called "football" - the feet never touch the ball but for the "kicker" man).

OUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD, ACCORDING TO NEW TESTAMENT TEACHING - SOME SPORTS WILL HAVE TO BE RE-VAMPED BIG TIME, IN THE AGE TO COME, AND SOME WILL JUST NOT BE ALLOWED PERIOD!

IF YOU ARE RAISING CHILDREN BETTER THINK TWICE IN THIS WORLD WE ARE IN, AS TO WHAT SPORTS YOU ALLOW THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN.

AND AS OLD FASHIONED AS IT MAY SOUND TODAY (WHEN GIRLS DO EVERYTHING BOYS DO) SOME SPORTS ARE REALLY NOT MEANT FOR GIRLS TO DO. THE STATISTICS OF INJURY AND CONCUSSIONS ARE NOT BROADCAST, BUT I'VE LISTENED TO SOME LADIES WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT ON RADIO STATIONS....IT IS VERY HIGH. GOD DID NOT IN THE MAIN CREATE THE BODY OF FEMALES TO GET SMASHED AROUND AS THEY DO IN SOME TEAM SPORTS, THAT WERE TRADITIONALLY ONLY DONE BY BOYS AND MEN.

WISDOM AND LOGICAL COMMON SENSE FOLK - USE IT!!
