[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. My youngest, even at 5, is built like a linebacker. Not going to happen - my DH has even stopped watching football. Should they ask, we will explain why we will not allow them to play. We have relatives who played in the NFL/college and had CTE or serious health issues related to football. I'm on the fence about soccer for the same reason.[/quote] My brother was a professional soccer player and my sister and I played D1 college soccer. Zero concussions. My brother and I got out of it without ankle or knee issues though he does have some arthritis in his late 40s. My sister tore her ACL on a grass field with grass too high. No football for my boys, but soccer definitely. If the get a concussion will reassess after first one. It's the repeated ones you need to worry about.[/quote]
