Are they not counting broken hands, cuts, knockouts, swollen faces, etc. as accidents in boxing? They're not really accidents, but they are injuries.

There 20k pro boxers in the world and an almost uncountable number of amateurs. There are 50k FEMALE boxers in the UK alone. I think I remember hearing something like 70k male amateur boxers in Canada. A google search shows there are around 1,696 pro football players in the NFL.
Don't kid yourself.
These numbers are bull****, I skimmed the article and there's no statistical basis here that could rank sports against each other.
This is like saying that smoking doesn't cause lung cancer because 60% of lung cancer patients have never smoked.

Also according to this boxing isn't even one of the top worries for brain trauma, though they do give it special mention for no particular reason.

Also Australian Rules football would be up there as you can see in my sig. Although that guy came back on later in the game.
