Yep, I'm backpedaling :manny:

I told my father this two days ago. Listen, I was on my way to be on the HS football team in the 9th grade :manny: I was fat then, but that could have turned into muscle. So, every Monday and Wednesday we had weight training :jawalrus: It was good, but I soon realized this wasn't for me. Especially, when I read about the risk of concussions :snoop: However, I did try out in 12th grade for the Wrestling team, but never got a reply back. Only thing I regret was not trying out for basketball

Anyway, I just would NOT let my son or daughter play football. Because I don't always want to take them to the doctor to get check out. Still, my kids will play sports. Maybe something like Lacrosse, Rugby, Soccer, Baseball, Hockey, and Basketball:obama: I'm going to have atleast 8 kids.

TBH, I just don't want to see my kids with memory loss. Listen, I could have EXCELLED in Football. Hell, my cousin who was the HS football captain went to Richmond to play football at a great college :manny:


That money :ahh:

As someone who played up until and including college... I can actually understand where you're coming from (even though your thread is hard to follow).

The main danger of football is the unknown, especially in highschool. Brehs getting knocked the fukk out on big hits and back in 5 plays later even though they most likely suffered a concussion.

Nowadays, more is being done to make the game safer. Have you seen the slip-pad technology?. Its pretty impressive.

Regardless, every human being should play a sport in middle and high school. But if you don't want them playing football I can understand it.

My sons are going to stick with basketball and soccer/track

So your kids can't play organization football, but you'll let them play hockey and rugby? :skip:
I haven't heard many concussion stories from Hockey and Rugby like Football. I feel my kids could do better in those sports. I'm gonna start them young in them too.
