I wouldn't want my kid to play football mainly because I want him to have fun and to me it was by far the least fun I had in any sport I played growing up. He won't be getting any pressure from me to do anything, I just think soccer is the more natural thing right now for youth athletics.

NFL has a problem in 20-25 years and they know it.

If they want to play I'll let em, but I aint gonna encourage it. Aside from being dangerous, the shyt is just too much commitment. It's too much for a high school kid imo.

My potential son will only play Football if he's a QB. Otherwise no.

He can play Baseball, Basketball, Tennis, Ballet, and Track. Ballet because of coordination and footwork.

Track but I don't won't to do AAU like my little cousin who is ranked 2nd in her age group nationally.

Tennis because I should have played Tennis and had world class training. I could have been the best.

Baseball, see tennis but I was much better at Baseball. I had five tools. 6'4, 36 inch vert, could run a 10.30 100 standing start at 16, and I could hit a baseball 450 feet with no professional training since I was 8 playing in Atlanta.

Basketball because his likely mom is tall and had a 36 inch vert and and I have a high vert. He might be a special VC type of athlete. You never know.

Those are the sports he will play as well as my potential daughter.

honestly tho it'll be my kids choice. Im not finna push my love of football onto them, but if they grow up living and breathing football, Im not gonna stop them. as long as they understand the risks.

nothing worse than being told by others not to do what you want to do.
