    So is the NYT trolling with their headline on the piece:

    "Brain Trauma Extends to the Soccer Field"

    Fact is, the connection was made quite a while ago. Yes, years of headers play a role in scrambling one's brain. Hasn't really affected is popularity in the soccer-mom crowd.

    Is the brain trauma caused by heading the ball or watching the sport?

    If you're watching soccer, you've clearly already suffered brain trauma
