    Hopefully, the link is active, and this might be what you're looking for, pseudo:

    http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:911dVXyEOdkJ:www.nata.org/jat/readers/archives/41.4/i1062-6050-41-4-470.pdf+incidence+of+concussions+sports&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1

    I remember reading somewhere within the past few years that there was a higher incidence for concussions in soccer players, as they suffer 'unknown' concussions caused by playing the ball with their heads. But this study claims soccer has the lowest incidence for concussions in HS-aged students.

    But not surprisingly, it seems hockey is number one, rugby, number two in the professional team ranks.

    Boxing and Tae Kwon Do were very high in the individual ranks.

    So does this explain Steve Young?

    Interesting that it should be called the Number 88 Plan. If such a thing were to be included in the NHL's CBA, there's a certain player who wears No. 88 and would definitely use this benefit.

    Fucking Lindros.

    His brother only played for (maybe) 2 seasons in the NHL before concussions forced him out. You'd think Eric woulda learned from that alone.

    With all these concussion problems, can football and hockey still claim a moral high ground over boxing because "the object isn't to injure the opponent"?

    Wouldn't that be called The Total Fucking Douchebag Plan?
