I guarantee you a few decades from now, both American football and professional wrestling are gonna be either very different or outright finished due to extensive studies on CTE.

Wrestling is fake so I doubt that.........Football is a multiBILLION dollar a year sport. Its not going anywhere. Nobody makes these players play....they do it for the love of the sport. How can you get rid of it? That's like stopping people from smoking because it causes cancer. You can recommend it, but you can't outright make people not do it.

I would say pre-determined because those injuries are real. Pro Wrestlers have went off the cliff and committed suicide and gotten permanently damaged.

Put him on the baseball field

they will PAY($$$) hil to to learn how to get better at baseball

AA minor league players were making 30k a year in the 90's, pretty sure they make more now

That ain't rich but that's a decent living to play a game :manny:

I agree, what I may do is get one to play Baseball and another play Basketball or Lacrosse. Baseball is good and I regret not playing a sport in school.

Minor leagues dont pay squat. Granted my
Boy went undrafted but the teams that were giving offers he was better off just working a normal job.

Everywhere...You never there.
If football is not in your pedigree as a family sport that has transcended the generations and/or you have other options , there's no logical reason to play organized football past the middle school level in 2016 and beyond . :manny:



we've talked about this ad nauseam on here .

I tell you some sad shyt that pained me while I was in school, I was gas at wide receiver, always looked up to Torry **** and Isaac Bruce, 6'1 big hands, 185 with a good build, but couldn't play/try out for football because I was born with a dysplastic kidney. My mom wouldn't let me play for that reason, something about if I got hit too hard I could risk losing my other kidney. :mjcry:

:patrice:Well damn bruh, you're not supppse to be shopping for infinity pools and private jets as a minor leaguer..

Like I said AA paid about 30k back in the 90's, so AAA probably paid more and single-A ball paid less...a lot of people start in developmental leagues so that probably pays nothing

You also have to keep in mind the MLB drafts most of its players straight out of high school - a 19 year old making 30k? Stop it.
