I'd let him make that decision. If he's passionate about the sport, I'd let him play, but I would sit down and education him on the ins and outs of the sport. However, I would have him in different sports (basketball, baseball, soccer, track, etc.) and he'll pursue whatever he wants. Financially, it's pointless to play football when there's more viable options to nake more money with fewer physical risks

Op specifies Football players getting paid and longevity. He's obviously talking about Football on a long term scale. So thats goes back to him playing football as a career.

Now with higher risk comes greater rewards.

But according to this chart...a police officer has a higher chance of actual death over an athlete but a cop doesnt get paid like an athlete....This is why I pointed out the risks of other jobs that dont pay as high as a football player with a contract. I mentioned cab drivers, cops and truck drivers and according to this poll they all have greater risks of dying on the job over a football player. So bottom line...why not let your kid get the contract he'd have a greater risk of dying with other jobs that pay less.
