I would say kicker and holder.

 

Soccer needs to outlaw the header for high school and below. They have same affect as repeated concussions for younger, developing brains.

I meant real players

Borland giving back 3/4 of his signing bonus to 49ers. What a class act.

Watched a nice little video (maybe sports science) about soccer and concussions. The repeated ball bouncing drills in practice where they continue to use their head daily and not let it touch the ground was the focus of the video. It was like a boxer continuously getting hit in the face. Maybe not to that extreme but the mild trauma was there. Then to topple with the headers, fighting for the ball etc. I can see why it would be considered number 2. The video was about a guy who all of the sudden couldn't move and became paralyzed after college. So it took a look at concussions as a possibility. There was no proof that was the cause of his disease. But nonetheless, was a good watch. I wish I could remember what the guy had. Really sad story.
