[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree football is dangerous, but baseball and basketball aren’t replacements for football. Unless your kid is at least 6’3”, they aren’t going to be competitive for high school basketball. Baseball also has a massive barrier to entry with the skill needed. Basketball and baseball at the youth and high school level are full, so no, they can’t fully replace football [/quote]

LOL parents are stupid to have their kids play soccer and lax. At least basketball and football there is money possibly...

None of these sports are great anyway. Tennis, Golf, swimming can do your whole life. [/quote]

I don't know where you live but we see people of all ages play basketball together at the local rec centers and playgrounds in casual pickup games.  From teenagers to people who look like they're grandparents.

And at some of my previous workplaces, I felt like I was at a disadvantage because I wasn't confident enough to join the company softball team. Especially after hearing how the team manager had to cut one of the coworkers because the other team members were tired of them not being able to hit the ball.  So was a big reason why I wanted to make that my kids were comfortable hitting and fielding the ball.

And I'm not as a big fan but we see adults play casual pick up soccer in the local fields too.  One group in particular is kind of obnoxious because they obviously don't have a permit but squeeze out the youth teams during their practice times on those fields.  And there looks like there are some actual adult leagues that rent out fields and indoor soccer fields too.[/quote]
