[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel terrible for low income/minority boys whose families don’t have the know how to dissuade them from playing football (I’m a minority and know that my parents would have let my brothers play). People should stop watching football on TV out attending games, it’s the least we can do for those boys. [/quote]

Ooof.  I think you're heart is in the right place but:

"Low-income people are too stupid to know the dangers of football" is a REALLY bad look.[/quote]

Who else is playing football [/quote]

Plenty of middle class, upper middle class, and high income people have kids in football.   Have you ever checked out the price of all the training camps/programs, private coaching, etc?
Even "Coach Prime" knows some of his players need to come from good families.

There are very few black students in my kid's high school. We have a primarily asian/white population. The football team is majority black. It is easy to get on the football team. They beg students to play. [/quote]
