[quote=Anonymous]Never. My son has been begging for years. He's allowed to play in the yard with friends provided there's no tackling but I have not let him play on a team. He's off to HS next year and I'm not going to change my mind. It's far too dangerous. If NFL players don't want their kids to play, that says something. He plays baseball, soccer and basketball and I've seen concussions in every sport so I know he can still get hurt. However, I do think other sports are lower risk than tackle football. In football, the brain is taking hits every single time the player is on the field. Those non-concussion hits to the head also cause brain damage. Helmets don't prevent it. See this article on the topic. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/lifestyle/kidspost/should-kids-play-tackle-football-brain-injury-researcher-says-no/2016/08/31/37de96e4-6486-11e6-8b27-bb8ba39497a2_story.html [/quote]
