If it was my kid's dream to play football, I wouldn't dare hold him back.

I can see that. If my sons lived and breathed football and were relentless in their pursuit to play I may have to think on it more.

Luckily for you it doesn't sound like that's the case. Luckily for me I don't have kids and I plan to keep it that way.

I bet Michele's tranny ass could play football.

Please don't troll me but brain injury is very serious and today I found out my younger has brain damage and he never played any contact sports. we bump our heads all the time though out the course of our lives and rarely get treatment. Football players invite this trauma. We can all eat healthy,get doctor checkups but how many people get MRI's or a Cat>...on the reg. Not until we start losing our motor skills.

So sorry to hear about your kid.

And to add to what you said, many folks don't realize but a kid's skull isn't fully developed until somewhere in their earily teens. By the time some kids start playing football in Pee-Wee leagues, they are already banging their heads because kids by nature are reckless. This is where the concern of any parent has to come in. Do they want their kid to spend another how many years of their lives doing what they are doing.

I love the game of football but it's a dangerous sport by nature.

I'd let my neighbors kid play football. He has already had a dozen emergency room visits from being a dumbass. Might as well strap a helmet and pads on him and turn him lose.

If I had a kid he could do whatever hobby or play whatever sport he wanted. Gotta let kids make their own choices, I played football, I ride motorcycles. I think people including children should have fun and not worry about the risk.

Playing football in your backyard is a whole lot different than doing it for a living. When you don't feel like playing on a particular day, you don't have too.

No parent should ever tell any of their kids they cant play a certain sport. It always should be you can do whatever you put your mind to.

I think you're mixing up apples with oranges. There is a big difference between discouraging your kid from being a doctor and playing a dangerous sport.

I'm serious.

One day he ran down our real steep driveway and did a faceplant on the asphalt. He cried, got up, and did the same damn thing 2 minutes later.

Yeah, Bush's "manliness" was on full display for 8 years. I love the man but I don't need a reminder, thank you.
