[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't sure if I had to post this on the parenting forum or sports so I ended just going with the off topic forum .Would you let your child play football at any level, pee-wee, elementary, junior, high school , college and even pro ? I just finished a FRONTLINE documentary on PBS titled LEAGUE OF DENIAL . The documentary is about four years old so some of you might have seen it already 
                There's a risk in almost anything we do in life that is true . However watching that documentary I couldn't help but wonder if the NFL would have been what it is today ( $ 9B in revenues ) had parents who ultimately greenlight their kids athletic choices known what we know today . It was sad and tragic to see men who at one point in time were our society's equivalent of gladiators end up being vegetables  unable to tie their shoe laces , fetching a bottle of water in the fridge in their 30s and 40s .

PS: it's quite the long documentary
