20 Shoulder dislocations+ Broke a couple bones in my face+ other injuries. It was my fault for the face injuries. I headbutted someone without my helmet on and they had theirs on. :huhldup: Heat of the moment.

2 Concussions officialy and I havent been the same. Wouldn't be surprised if I had more I was a head hunter I remember times goin helmet to helmet and blackin out for a second :mjcry:

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.
Just because you not hearing about it doesn't mean it don't happen. Rugby is a more violent sport than football by far. Hockey is only a notch below football. If you want to protect your sons from concussions then you might want to keep them away from EVERY contact sport.

Not all of the dislocations from football but football were the first two and they kept poppin out in practice/games and I was too stubborn to get surgery until I had to call it quits cuz I was all fukked up.

Dude was steppin on my hand so I lost my shyt took of my helmet headbutted him, split my forehead blacked out, broke my nose and fractured my orbital..if it was a couple centimeters up the doc told me I would have went blind. His team mate slammed his facemask from the right side in my lower jaw and had a bad fractured jaw.

Was yellin at coach to put me back in the game bleedin everywhere from my head and not even bein able to talk cuz I couldn't close my jaw. I miss that shyt :mjcry:

I hope you won't break down more later on breh. TBH, this is one of the reasons why I'd be scared to let my kid play football. While the money is good NFL wise it's just not worth the risk.

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:
Never knew you were a woman . Feel sirry for your son having 2 mothers and no male influence :dwillhuh:and to think hs football could have done it for him now
