So, is the implication here that soccer / "football" is a safer sport than American football? A simple Google search would indicate that this is simply not the case. Tens of thousands of people are seriously injured or killed across the globe as a result of playing soccer, including the same concussions, broken limbs and paralysis suffered while playing US football. The helmet warning above could easily be placed on a pair of soccer cleats, since the only way to ensure that you never suffer an injury while playing soccer is to never play soccer in the first place. The idea that soccer is a "safe, non-contact" sport is the big lie now being fed to US parents. And in response to the inevitable statement that "soccer is the most popular sport in the world:" McDonald's is the most popular restaurant in the world.

Not judging soccer; it's just not as safe as you think.
