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.
I appreciate it homie. I'm not even helpin myself by doin MMA. Mostly Muay Thai/Boxin

Violent sports are therapeutic to me, I gotta be hittin something. I guess I'll know sooner or later

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

I'm not a woman, but from the concussion reports that I've read I'm not gonna have my future sons & daughters take that risk.

Rugby is a better sport and men don't wear tights and body armour..:yeshrug:
I looked up some of the concussion reports and I saw far less than Football. I'd let him atleast play that. Even though I would make him get a tradeset too for backup. I remember one NFL player left football to start farming.

They have to hit each other in a specific way-below the chest I believe, you probably know more. Lets not forget why football players started wearin pads. There was a lot of deaths in the league due to the sport.

I can still watch Rugby even though I dont understand it. No need to compare to the sports both are no joke.

Sports build character tho. I played for my HS from 8th-12 grade and only won 7 games out of 51( All 7 Wins came my Junior year went 0-10 all the other years ) but I still never quit went to every practice, film session , I worked out all summer and spring etc and that work ethnic carried over into my everyday life. I also learned how to perservere when faced with Adversity because we were the smallest school and only public school in our district it was often times we'd go to play a game with 20 something players and the other team would have damn near 100 but I still went out and did my thing.

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:

In other news no one cares about......
