BARBERSHOP TALK: If Your Son Wanted To Play Football Would You Let Him? (With CTE Risks)

[A.R.$]

Nope. The risks are just not worth it.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Never. I watch the sport but never want my son anywhere near it

 

[Henri Christophe]

creating a nerd > creating an athlete

 

[UpAndComing]

Hell no

I'll put my future son in Ballet before I ever put them in Football. And I hate Ballet

 

[ViShawn]

Nah. I'd encourage something like martial arts for sure though.

Also, most of them aren't even that healthy imo.

 

[SirReginald]

If he's passionate about it then yes.

Even with the short career reports and CTE issues?

Neymar's transfer fee was higher than the Cavs whole team salary. It was higher than the Warriors too

My god that skinny fruity Brazilian really is out here making money I can’t even imagine about

That's not what I mean.

If it's his passion and he has the talent for it, who am I to stand in his way. Like someone already posted every thing has risks.

Yall really not letting your sons play football? Have any of you all actually played yourself?

 

[Worthless Loser]

I don't see this being discussed in a barbershop.

Nope. I don't need to play to know that my kid could take his talents elsewhere.

Football is 80 percent mental. On the highschool level its really not that serious.
