[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not one mention of football.[/quote] Few pursue that sport in educated urban areas. It's a terribly ugly and dangerous sport. We neither watch it, nor allow our DCs to play it. We have zero friends with kids in football. You have to be huge physically too (usually overweight) and willing to damage your brain. [/quote] I have seen research that tackle under age 13 is bad. I have seen research done on pro football players, who play for year, about CTE. I have not seen anything that says playing a couple years of high school football is worse than other contact sports. If you have, please share. [/quote] I would discourage other contact sports too. My kids do swim team.[/quote] I have seen several swimmers slam their head into the wall during a backstroke race. [/quote] Or cut each other on purpose with paddles. Not so innocent.[/quote]
