[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you can get injured or concussion with other sports but tackle football ,the percentage of getting serious injury is too high .  
So nah , I’m not letting my kids play.  No racism here or whatsoever!!![/quote]

Sure.  But the point people are making is that people say stuff like you just said, but let their daughters play soccer, or their sons play basketball.

Basketball athletes are the most likely to go the ER.  Female soccer athletes are the second most likey to get a concussion.

I'm not saying football isn't dangerous; it is.

But people act like youth football is thunderdome or the hunger games.  Its not[/quote]

Basketball is almost entirely lower body injuries. I"m fine with my kids taking that risk. I played safety and started for three years in high school. I also played basketball through junior year. Looking back, I'm fairly positive that I had at least three concussions from football. My worst basketball injury was a sprained ankle. [/quote]
