      A little known fact.....


      The first testicular guard "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.

      It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.

      thank you for adding this post....i sent it strait to my wonderful Dad who is my lifeline and i know it breaks his heart every day. This may help him understand....and others realize that its not all in their heads. Regardless of what doctors and sometimes family and friends make us believe. Heck sometimes our minds play that trick by itself. This lays it out black and white... kudos
