Where did you find this bit of information?Bruce certainly has become a lot more outspoken since he became a HC, but he's just trying to protect the game. Football reportedly has fewer concussions than Lacrosse but parents are flocking to that sport at the grade school level mostly out of ignorance.

Obviously he has an issue knowing when to shut his yapper. At least it makes for good hate-bait.Don't stereotype! I think Arians sounded like a douche when he came out with that comment. I get why people find him irritating. He's our coach so I support him on the field, but I'd be fine if he stepped away from the mic a bit more.

As long as the team continues to win...
Looking at the history of American football, I don't think there has ever been a time in the sports history where it hasn't been scrutinized by the public for its safety. The CTE problem definitely doesn't help, but considering what football has gone through I'm optimistic that it will figure a way to minimize concussion and become a safer sport.

In the link above, it just shows even back in the early 1900's the public's view on football was far worse than it ever was today.
As for Arians, what do we really expect him to say? I'm sure many coaches and management are concerned and feel their careers/livelihoods are threatened. Even before the concussion issues, Mothers have always been hesitant to let their sons play football.

Not trying to be an asshole, but...Didn't find it...boss', our IT guy also coaches Lacrosse for a local HS team and is the know all, be all about Lacrosse.
I'm kidding about the know all part, but he's from New England, heavily into Lacrosse, played in college, instrumental in getting youth Lacrosse programs off the ground here a decade ago...he told me he's surprised to see as many kids flocking to that sport because of the concussion concern, when Lacrosse reportedly has as many or more concussion cases.
He said reportedly, which is what I conveyed...where it was reported...idk to be honest.
Not trying to be an asshole, but...
"Lacrosse trails only football in terms of concussion risk, with 6.9 reported for every 10,000 athletic exposures, according to the 2012 NAS study."
