Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBCLearningEnglish.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Georgina.
When it comes to sport, there's something for everyone.
Do you play a sport, Georgina?
I used to play in a netball team years ago.
Now I go jogging and I enjoy swimming too.
Yes, I go jogging sometimes and I play football.
Although I'm no Ronaldo.
But some sports, the so-called full-contact sports like rugby, American football and boxing are much more dangerous.
Now the truth about the long-term effects on players who make a career taking heavy tackles or punches to the head is being slowly revealed.
And the issue of safety and sport was back in the news again recently when Danish Football or Christian Ericsson collapsed on the pitch during the 2020 European Football Championship.
At the centre of the debate are worries about possible brain damage and dementia caused by concussion.
