Why women’s ice hockey has a higher concussion rate than football

A note on the data: Many of you have noticed that the survey cited at 0:24 contradicts the fact that female athletes report concussions at a higher rate than men playing a comparable sport. However, despite that data point, the general understanding, established through many years of study by different researchers using a variety of methods, is that women do report higher rates of concussion. Although I wasn't able to squeeze all the data in the video, I've listed several sources in the description above. If you'd like to learn more, make sure to check them out. Thanks for watching! -Mac

Wait, so a soort where the womren are strictly prohibited from hitting gives them more concussions than the NFL… oh ladies 😅

They should make better helmets for women and hockey/football players of both genders should be required to do safe neck strength training exercises so that they're not so rocked when they hit their head

0:28 The study literally states that Men's hockey reports more concussion than Women's hockey yet they focus on Women's hockey reporting more concussions than Football even though both Mens AND Women's hockey reports more concussions? 🤷‍♂🤷‍♀

Oh it’s simple because women’s brains aren’t meant to be taking that kind of force.

Women have smaller brains than men. That allows their little brains to bounce around more in all that empty space

We’ll also most football teams won’t publicly announce 75% of concussions

well they report more but they dont check maybe cause woman cant take a hit and is weaker so they get more and thats why they have full face cage these woman wont to be equal to men give them reg helmet and let them check each other

False. At school they taught me men and women are the same.

Why don't women practice checking just without doing it in game? This way will be prepared if it hapenes

I assumed this meant football as in the English game and was like well have you watched the sports? ofc hockey gives more concussions

Here is the part white people get concussions there is no out of bounds in hockey

I think buddy checking in women’s hockey start much later in the development I don’t think they learn how to protect them selves when someone’s going to hit them I lay my stick up in front and if the person wants to skate into my stick and hurt themselves I have no problem I’ll take it to many crosschecking over getting hit in the head every day

I’m not sure if the same can be said for hockey or women’s hockey but from my experience playing high school and college football 90% of concussions go unreported people want to keep playing

What if its just biological,oh wait,you have to assume its men doing it,i mean come on how are men doing something

It's cuz they are women

Because there's men who feel their "manhood" is tarnished by reporting injury, where women don't have that stigma. Furthermore, men's sports have waaaaay larger financial ramifications for injury than women's sports, so an injury a man has may go unreported.

Weaklings

Women’s skulls are softer confirmed

Is it because females have less strength in their body?

Wait but why compare football and hockey there 2 different sports men have higher concussion rates in hockey

Definitely, I think it's a reporting thing, not to stereotype but women are better at it, I hate to admit it, but there was alot of times I should have went to the hospital but didn't just because I didn't what to deal with everything. Verses my sister every little thing she was at the doctor no cap.

I once went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out.
