Re: Re[2]: The troubles (revisited)

It doesn't help to get repeatedly bopped
on the head, so being a boxer or an inside lineman or a soccer player
(remember how often they hit the ball with their heads), and probably
others can have an adverse effect based on repetitive insults to the brain.

Drop soccer; heading is a qualitatively (and quantitatively!) different
kind of impact. As an example, a soccer ball is much "softer" than
flesh-on-bone, boxing gloves, or football "padding."
