John, I live two blocks from a Village football field - the old high
school field - and an adjacent flat grassy field. Both are used by young
guys and kids for a variety of "pick up" sports, including touch football.

Guys playing touch football do not wear helmets. There is no mandate,
and apparently the guys judge that the risk of serious head injury is
low. I played touch football on an intramural team in college, and none
of us wore helmets.

worse than other normal activities. Here, I post data showing that's false.

Speaking of dishonest fear mongering, how is your fear of having a gun
in your home doing?
