Football leads in concussions versus any other sport....by miles.
if you are taking a stand on hits to the head then body checking needs to end as well. Putting your shoulder into a guys chest straight on and he has any momentum, that brain is bouncing back and forth inside the skull.
All contact sports have these risks, fighting is no more dangerous than any of it, even if it does add to the overall totals.
I would be curious if their is a data set that shows how many players diagnosed with concussions were from bodychecking compared to fighting.
