Jason Lisk atUSA Today<\/em>‘s Big Lead Sports:<\/p>\n

“It’sone thing to defend a buddy<\/a>and make claims that are opinions in support of him, it’s another [for Jim Nantz] to go on a national television program [Face the Nation<\/em>]and throw out a number that women’s soccer players are 2.5 times more likely to get a concussion than football players. Where’s the proof?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisk also quotes our post<\/a> here earlier today with strong criticism by Matt Chaney, author of the book Spiral of Denial<\/em>. Seehttp:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/index.php\/2013\/02\/04\/jim-nantz-on-face-the-nation-womens-soccer-players-are-two-and-a-half-times-more-likely-to-get-concussions-than-football-players-wheres-the-proof\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dustin Fink of theconcussionblog.com<\/a> tweeted that “Jim Nantz lost a lot of respect from me.”<\/p>\n
