I have far more faith in your intelligence, random Internet stranger, than I do in ex-Congressmen from Missouri. I am curious as to what Akin actually died of though, since everyone knows that when it's legitimate cancer the body has a way of shutting that down.

It's becoming increasingly common for youth leagues to ban headers altogether.

What country are you in? In the US, and parts of Canada, prices of any cannabis products have plummeted since late 2021.

Most of the harm is actually caused by the repeated blows sustained, not the big ones that get the KO (most don't even end with anyone being knocked out but that's not really important).
For similar reasons, that's why it's actually linemen in American football that have higher rates of CTE when they aren't the ones getting the big hits leading to concussions.

I did one head shot from the goalies shot and never did that again. My head hurt like hell. Can’t imagine if you would do that all the time.

Is it true that residents of countries that don’t speak English are exposed to less neurotoxic chemicals?

Yeah my boss is actually pretty great and works with me a lot on keeping reasonable deadlines. I will just tell them no go on things sometimes and have adopted more of a “it’ll get done when it gets done” attitude.

I do have a pretty generous leave package for most Americans. But I like to take a decent break roughly every quarter rather than all at once. I get about 4 weeks a year plus other random holidays and paid sick leave. I also have a toddler in preschool so I take my sick leave a lot.

There was some sort of study on I think a mlb team or something, I forget what it was about but it said with the hot weather in summer the chemicals in the turf get heated up and release into the air as toxins and the players absorb it or breath it in and i think it said these players were getting cancer maybe

Specific cannabinoids cost a BANANAS amount of money and apparently poor people should all dig a giant hole and dogpile into it and light themselves on fire with gasoline.

High school hits are not as hard as college and pro hits
Somehow I think the sport that tries so hard to cover up it's tbi issue isn't accurately reporting or testing for concussions

That's a super interesting point, and I think it's an important one.
As an idiot on the interweebs, I think the opposing argument might be something like this:
Researchers, like everyone else, have a limited amount of time and energy. If they focus their resources heavily on the specialized knowledge and advancing the field, they can push the limits farther, faster, increasing the sphere of knowledge; others can follow behind and find ways to share the knowledge and make it more accessible.
