[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having just watched concussion and done some reading on CTE in football players, no football. And it pains me to say it as I was a HUGE football fan.[/quote] I still am a huge football fan and my boys will never play- not even flag, because I don;t want to have to say no to them when it comes time to put pads on. I would be content if this meant that that the sport died out in a generation or 2 (it won't because for many the rewards outweigh the risks), I'd miss the memories of football Sundays and all that but the older I get the less comfy I get with watching this level of injury- even though they are perfectly capable of choosing not to play as grown men, still .[/quote] So you won't let them play flag because it will make it harder to say "no" later? That's like the old Baptist joke about not doing something because it might lead to dancing. Flag football was one of the most joyful rec experiences my son ever had.[/quote]
