[quote=Anonymous]Another football lover here. Father played in college as did I. Both sons played in the IAC and are playing lacrosse in college. My sons were encouraged to play, but would have played over my objection had I tried to stop them. Football injuries, especially concussions, are not to be overlooked, but the risks through the high school years are just not that statistically significant when compared to other sports. After high school, injuries do increase in college. That said, football is a great sport that builds teamwork and self-reliance in ways that other sports just can't replicate. By the way, ask the pro players if they knew that there was considerable risk of injury when they signed in the NFL. Then ask if they would do it all over again. In almost every instance the answer will be affirmative. [/quote]
