Anyone who watches sports, or participates in any, knows one undeniable fact—there is danger involved. Every sport can have its athletes suffer anything from a scraped elbow to life threatening injuries, which may even include death.
Each sport has its own risks and rewards. Most athletes do not care about this, though, as they are attracted to the glory, fame, pride and money that comes along with being a professional athlete.
So what I decided to do was take the ten sports that are the most dangerous and rank them.
The reason for this is to bring attention to something very few people think about until it happens, which is sports injuries.
I have had a few people question why Soccer is on the list, let me give you a quick fact. In the last 12 years Hockey has had exactly 2 deaths on the ice worlds wide, soccer has had over 70 deaths on the field in that time. If you have to wonder after that then I don't know what to tell you.
