Good insight- glad someone took the next logical step following the 'concussion debate' in the sportsguy article. I wish there were more concrete stats to compare- but I think some of the problems with these studies come from the fact that a lot of minor concussions go undiagnosed.

Also, there might be another problem with comparing concussion in sports. In my football playing days, I always remember there being at least 1 if not 2 or more trainers on the sidelines, but during my lax days (in high school) there was nary a trainer to be seen for at least half of my games. So if a trainer isnt there when it happens, the poor kid who got his bell rung wont get the infamous 'concussion test' on the sidelines- and whose to keep him from going right back in and getting another one?
