    Though for juvenile trips to the emergency room, I was surprised to see that basketball was really high up there,I didnt expect that.
    Wait I still had it in my google bar so I looked it up again
    Heres one
    Sports Injury Statistics - My Child Has - Children's Hospital Boston
    Heres another
    Sport Injuries and Injury Statistics
    There are more links,but my ass is way to lazy to keep digging again


    Trips to the emergency room stats are irrelevant IMO. Its niave to compare injuries that can be repaired, such as a broken limb, to irrepairable, irreversible brain damage.
    Yeah hang out with my arthritis and tell me that

    You're going to compare some joint pain to not being able to dress yourself? Dont be so foolish

    Not a pleasant state, but there are drugs and treatments you can take to alleviate the pain and improve movement in the joints.

    Too bad there are no drugs that can give Gerald McClellan back his sight and ability to walk.

    Don't be an idiot, comparing yourself to these brain damaged warriors is incredibly idiotic.

    Speaking as someone who HAS arthritis (and has never boxed), that is not a foolish comparison at all. Joint pain can lead to the same list of inabilities in daily life. There are some days where I can barely stand or walk because my hip will not allow me to.

    Yes, there are medications that we can take to assist with the pain and there are joint replacement surgeries, so there are options that do not exist with brain damage.

    But there is also the chance of having an active, creative brain trapped in a body that no longer functions as it should, leading to frustration or even depression. And like brain damage, it only worsens over time. Even the pain mediications and surgeries are only temporary measures.
