yeah, it's horrible parents not wanting their kids to go through years of pain and surgeries, probably until they die, for a few million that will go to doctors and insurance companies... anyways.

 

90% of kids won’t play sports seriously past high school if they even last that long. Playing football in your youth isn’t going to lead to millions in medical bills.

I think he meant its their dreams. I mean you could be a Debbie downer like every other parent and say no. Then he'll see all these guys on TV and say why did I listen? What if Arnold Schwarzenegger or Ric Flair listened to their parents? Do you think they would have had success? If I'm ever a Parent I'm gonna do my best to see that my child is living towards his or her dreams every day. If they have any trace of doubt during the journey, I'll do my best to make sure they're out of it. 

I didn't actually say whether I would have let my son play football.  He didn't want to, so its a decision I never had to make.   As to whether I would have let him play tackle football at that age, it would depend on circumstances.  How well protected they are, and honestly what his own health, and body type.  As a young man, my son was tall and skinny, he had a body made for basketball, not football.  And that is what he wanted to play.  

You can say you will let him or her live their dream all you want.  But until you and your partner actually have to make the decision, you don't really know what you might do.  I probably said something similar at one time back when I was young and naive.  Then I had a child, and realized its my job as parent to ensure that my child learns to be a good person, and to do the best I can to ensure he is healthy and well cared for.  I did make his choices for him when he was younger, no ifs ands or buts.  He had some input, but at 8-13 years old, he didn't even know what his dreams were.  Children rarely, if ever do.    Or if they have dreams, they usually change by the time they get old enough to try to fulfill those dreams.

And there's the truth of it. A good part of parenting is sorting out your kid's dreams from bad ideas. You just hope you get rid of the bad ones and not squash any of the real hopes and goals.

Justin can't sing. He's against football. He exposed Janet's breast during the SB causing parents and Puritans to go completely insane. Who in the hell made the decision to have this guy perform?

[pantherj]

Black twitter is going to go crazy that Justin is back but he hasn't apologized for harming Janet's career.

If I wanted to see a white person who can't sing impersonate a black rapper I'd go to a mall and wait for a live show.

It's still their choice. Don't hold them back from their dreams. I would've been pissed at my parents if they never let me played. I had been wanting to since I was in first grade. Team sports is great at building character anyway and a way to learn to cooperate well with others. Not to mention the exercise. There's still a lot more good to come from football.

Kids get pissed at their parents. Part of life. Parents need to do whats best for their kids. 

 

My sons are playing football.

That has nothing to do with a Mother or Father...not wanting their children hurt, anytime in their lives. 

Baseball, Soccer and Lacraose enrollment are all up.

Team sports can also teach kids that who your parents are is more important than your individual talent and that winning is more important than letting a 9 year old participate and have fun.
