Bad arguments for maintaining the status quo in youth contact sports : Why the argument that "other sports are dangerous too" is a bad one -- Why helmets and other technology won't solve the problem -- Why "safer than ever" may not be safe enough -- Why you don't have to hit at a young age to be a superstar -- Why the benefits of sports can be gained without repetitive brain trauma -- Part 4. The future of youth contact sports : How we can change contact sports to protect children's brains -- What families and athletes can do to stay safe in youth sports -- What you can do to improve the safety of youth sports in your community -- Conclusion : how much do we have to know and how bad do the risks have to be?
