[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heck to the no.  TJ parent of a marching band kid here, so I actually watch the games. Even in the new conference, [b]TJ kids are usually much smaller than their opponents[/b], and are getting hit— hard— play after play. With the research on CTE, [b]I do not understand parents who have kids smart enough to go to TJ and are willing to risk their brains[/b]. For a sport TJ kid will never be good enough at to play at the college level.   I’m big on being non-judgementL and “you do you” at atJ, but I think less of parents who lets their kids play football.  Bad parenting

There are quite a few no cut sports at TJ. PP mention crew, which is great and takes newbies. Try a different sport. [/quote]

+1.

Schools like TJ, Langley and Mclean should cancel football program altogether.

Right.
Have to protect those upper class elitist brains. [/quote]

No we should be protecting ALL brains. But you gotta start somewhere. And good luck starting with my Friday Night Lights HS alma mater, where football players are gods, and many kids view football as their only chance of going to college and finding a way way out of depressed flyover nowhere. There is too much support for football at some schools to just get rid of it. 95% of TJ, on the other hand, could GAF. [/quote]
