Almost no sports have helmets. Ice hockey, rugby, and football are the only ones I am aware of.

That is super strange, and frustrating. I can't believe they wouldn't let them use the mats they'd already purchased, I would have been ready to murder. I hope your kids get the respect they deserve, and the funding they need.
I can give you statistics if you want them.
Damn straight I'm bitter. It sucked being on an unfunded team. No fields, no equipment, nothing. One coach who didn't play and didn't know the first thing about the sport.
Oh "I wasn't insulting you to you I was insulting you to other people so you can't make fun of me".
I was originally just being a goof, because that's my sense of humor. But you've royally pissed me off. And are you claiming tons of women played sports in the eighties? Because let me assure you, not the case. Even in the 90's it was hard to find other sports teams.
I'm sorry. You're right. It was 83 'catastrophic' injuries.
That's a fair point actually. I suppose it'd be simpler to say that coaches shouldn't coach if they know they can't, but for many new teachers it is the only way to secure a job. A lose-lose situation for everyone really.
I think insurance companies are. I haven't heard a push to ban cheerleading, but you never know what's on the horizon.
I can compare it to your data. 200 plus injuries as opposed to the fifty reported for cheerleading?
Virginia must not have the same regulations, because there was no accreditation for our coaches.
Did your soccer team get funding? Because ours didn't.
Sure. It's only measuring high school athletics- not taking into account non-school related teams (which is where most dangerous sports are grouping).
There are no articles doing the comparison. Did you read it? It notes at the beginning that almost NO other studies have been done about female soccer injuries.
The Yahoo article is the one I have the major objection to. They don't seem to realize by publishing shit like this people aren't going to take cheerleading more seriously...they're going to ban it.
Also, there were only 115 players, so many were injured multiple times. Almost ten percent had an ACL tear- a major tear that requires surgery and leaves players perma crippled.
You're using one point of data, which I've pointed out, is flawed.
