Cost of Contact in Sports Is Estimated at Over 600,000 Injuries a Year

It seems obvious that there will be more, and more serious, injuries among high school and college athletes in football or soccer or lacrosse than, say, in running or in tennis. But how much more and at what economic cost? The Yale researchers discovered that these numbers were difficult to obtain, but using the best available data, they calculated that if contact sports could be practiced without contact, such as flag football, for example, there would be 49,600 fewer injuries among men. university athletes per year and 601,900 less among male high school athletes. The savings, which include estimates of medical costs and lost time, could reach $ 1.5 billion a year for colleges and $ 19.2 billion a year for high schools. And that only takes into account the immediate consequences of an injury, according to an article by the researchers, and not the long-term effects of concussions or repeated bursts of the brain in collisions. Or the repercussions of ligament tears, which ...

Harry Kane: Pep Guardiola tries to heal Pochettino rift

Pep Guardiola moved to appease Mauricio Pochettino after the manager of Manchester City was accused of disrespect for his counterpart Tottenham Hotspur. Pochettino is upset that Guardiola has recently described Spurs as Harry Kane's team "after citing Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United as the city's main rivals for the Premier League title. English striker Kane has scored 11 of 21 goals for Tottenham in all competitions this season, with nine goals in his last five games for the club and the country. This dazzling race saw Kane score seven goals in his last three games for the Spurs. He also scored two victorious goals when England managed a World Cup qualifying campaign with consecutive 1-0 victories against Slovenia and Lithuania this month. Pochettino was annoyed with the suggestion that the Spurs is a one-man team, calling Guardiola's comments disrespectful, but the Spaniard now says he never intended to depreciate. "I've ...

Jamaal Lascelles heads Newcastle United to win over Stoke City

Punctuated by bouts of driving rain and permeated by a distinctly autumnal chill, it was hardly the ideal afternoon for a convalescent to be outdoors but nonetheless it seemed to do Rafael Benítez a power of good. A fortnight after  undergoing surgery  to clear infection from the site of an old hernia repair, Newcastle United’s manager walked gingerly into the dugout but departed with a spring in his step. Jürgen Klopp says ‘fortune was not wearing Liverpool shirt’ in Burnley draw   Read more With excellent performances from Christian Atsu, Matt Ritchie and Jamaal Lascelles possibly proving more restorative than a week at a health farm, Benítez was left to celebrate his side’s third straight  Premier League  win. Maybe, just maybe, the Tynesiders are not quite as weak as he had feared. “We deserved to win,” said Benítez who watched his team rise to fourth on a day when Joselu missed three good chances. “I’m really pleased with our togethe...

Why Lionel Messi Pulled Out of ‘Glamour’ Match Against Nigeria

The fact that Lionel Messi withdrew the previous friendly match at the World Cup to be held in Russia against the Nigeria Super Eagles can not be a clear story of why he decided not to participate in the friendly match on November 14th. Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed that he has chosen not to line up his captain, Messi, against the Super Eagles. And it was suggested that the striker will only face the hosts of the Russian World Cup at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow on November 11th. Sampaoli and the national crew were insinuating who had decided to allow the Barcelona striker to steal from Moscow after the first match, "to have enough time to rest before returning to the club's obligations". And the rest of the Argentine team will travel to Krasnodar, where they will play against Nigeria on November 14th. Remember that a similar scenario happened during the last international friendlies Albicelestes against Brazil (June 9) and Singapore (June 1...

Liverpool 2-2 Sevilla: Rock & Roll Football is starting to look indefensible

Liverpool’s opening group stage game provided the perfect opportunity for revenge – a rematch of the 2016 UEFA Europa League final against Sevilla. It was the Spanish side that came out on top on that night and denied Jurgen Klopp’s side entry to last season’s Champions League, but Liverpool improved on that slightly tonight with a 2-2 draw. The result means that Liverpool have still never beaten a Spanish side in the group stage in seven attempts. Jurgen Klopp will be disappointed to secure only a point, especially considering the amount of chances that his side wasted. Early drama at both ends, and the beginnings of a sensational game Jurgen Klopp’s side always start games quickly but it was Sevilla who struck first in this one, shocking the Anfield faithful. Incredibly nonchalant static defending and a fluffed clearance from Dejan Lovren allowed Wissam Ben Yedder to tap Escudero’s cross into an open net and give the Spaniards the lead. From that moment on however i...
