It really doesnt take that much force to get a concussion, not sure why people keep saying this
Yes it really does. If it didnt they would be more common. That's why they're very uncommon outside of contact and combat sports
But dodgeball is a sport where youre throwing a ball hard at other people... And if it hits a head, it may cause one. Apparently, its not that uncommon in dodgeball. Usually, people will try not to aim for the head. Also, most people try to protect their face, which probably lessens the amount of people who get hit in the head. I think they say it takes about 95 gs of Force to cause a concussion. And most football players get hit at 103 for comparison. But throwing a dodgeball is probably a good amount of Gs. Its fairly light, but has som me weight behind a hit. And depending on how it hit the child, it may cause one easily. Also, based on the medical condition, it may take less force to cause a concussion. Not to mention, he was really young, which could probably help...
And football players constantly get concussions but they're also walking refrigerators
Yeah. I just said up there that they get hit with enough force to get concussions a lot. Idk why you mentioned it again...
Because you're comparing a dodgeball to a 300 lb offensive lineman in an attempt to argue that it doesn't take much force to cause a concussion lol
Well, you're throwing a ball pretty hard & fast. And it apparently can cause concussions. Also, just because a football player can cause a concussion doesn't mean that only football players can cause a concussion. Also, I wasn't comparing them. I was just explaining how concussions work and using football to explain it because that's how the article explained it. But according to this article, a dodgeball thrown by a 10-year-old boy can also cause a concussion. But it doesn't mean he was trying to give the other kid one...
Yeah and as I've said previously, everything any of us are saying is all speculation. Personally, I'm just leaning toward it being more than just some errant throw due to the concussion and suspension. I think that's a perfectly logical conclusion to come to but I admit that might not be the case
