There was a study done about 10 years ago on sports and injuries. It was found that boxing was the safest sport out of Football, Basketball, and Baseball.
Boxers recieved less injuries, and when they were injured, the worst boxing injury was found to be nowhere near as bad as the lightest Football injury.
For instance, in boxing you will either get a concusion, a broken nose, or a broken metacarpal (knuckle). Football injuries range from death, torn ACL's, multiple fractures of all bones, and coma's.
If your parents will let you play football, but not box...enlighten them as to the ridiculousness of their thought processes.
