A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I played quite a bit of soccer back in the day, yes. It's nowhere near the forces of a clash in the NFL, which is what was being mentioned as a typical example of what can give someone a concussion. All I'm saying is that it takes less force than many probably think. I'm not saying riding a horse gives you a concussion.
even still, the amount of force of the impact to the head while doing a header is far more than what you experience while riding a horse.
I'm sure it is. I never said, nor did I mean to imply, that it isn't.
