Soccer injuries are on the rise for girls. The statistics about girls' sports injuries can be scary for parents: girls suffer from up to 10 times as many anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries as boys, and in comparable sports (such as basketball, hockey, and soccer), they sustain nearly 30 percent more serious injuries than boys do. Perhaps most alarmingly, sports-related concussion rates are twice as high for women and girls and researchers don't know why.
* Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. . . aren't these normally the folks for feminism, and girls being as good as boys, and gender neutrality, and such? Wow, then a few facts gets them all messed up! Oh, wait, is this the beginning of the end? Are we seeing the early bricks of the wall around sports? Hmmm, scary injuries could mean the big bad liberal government will take away sports. . . for your own good, of course.
I hope I am wrong on this, but this attitude of worry about sports seems to me to be opening the door for such governmental intrusion.

First, sports will be outlawed because it's "unfair" that some people are more athletic than others.
