You're the one that made the claim that pee wee football and bike riding were equally dangerous.

I'd like to know how you came to that conclusion. If you came to that conclusion rationally by using statistics, then it shouldn't be too difficult to replicate. If you just made it up, then say so.

Actually looking at the stuff I posted riding a bike is much more dangerous than playing football unless you want your child to die. If it's not difficult to replicate then do it and prove how wrong I am. I didn't make anything up just posted what the CDC says and what the Chairman of American Football Coaches Committee on Football Injuries says. If you don't like what they say then take it up with them.

I would...although I have to admit, I'd be apprehensive about having a son who wanted to be a professional boxer. Once I saw Evander Holyfield mumbling and stumbling, I could not understand why anyone would get involved with that sport.

But if he wanted to play football professional, I'd advise him to become a kicker or a punter...they without a doubt have it made. They make a good 6-7 figures, and sustain the least injuries.

To accurately compare you have to compare the number of participants in each activity.

If you've done that why don't you post the results.

If you haven't done that, then you don't know.

Well the Chiefs former punter Louie Aguier is a plaintiff in the concussion lawsuit. Not sure if he got kicked in the head holding for a FG attempt or what.

Provide me with an accurate assessment and prove me wrong. Nothing stopping you. Or continue to mumble and stumble around trying to prove...............????

You made the original assertion. How did you come to that conclusion? Through data or did you just make it up?

I provided you with links so it wasn't made up. What say you now? There is data out there to compare if you choose go find it.

I now ask if you compared the number of participants in each activity. Did you?

I also ask if you looked up the data AFTER you came to the conclusion. It sounds like you did.

You compare the data like I said. I don't really care. You decided to be a know it all nothing so I gave you what you asked for and now want more. Go find it yourself like I said. You go ahead and get in the last word because it appears that is your goal.
