Martial arts isn't a profitable sport. Moreover studies show concussions happen at similar rates in every sport and is higher in several sports than football. Soccer players head the ball and get concussions regularly becaus. Soccer also have higher knee and foot injuries than footbal.. So outside of tennis or golf, I'm not protecting my son one bit by passing him along to most any professional sport.
Furthermore football doesn't cause brain damage. If it did Blaine Gabbert, Luck, Fitz, who have been playing football all their lives, wouldn't have scored so well on the Wonderli . You'll also notice that most football players who have dementia were or are eumb nd didn't engage themselves in intellectual activity like a Luck would. McElroy racked up concussions like a drum yet scored high on the Wonderlic and wrote 10+ page game plans every week whole on the Jets. Football doesn't cause brain damag..
It's funny because in my town being a p*ssy = be dressed by your overprotective mom to play a sport.
This is how the world sees HandEgg players.
HandEgg player: Thanks mommy for dressing me like a p*ssy now I'm not going to hurt my vagina!!!

I've never seen a running back laying flat on his back, get up, then run for more yards.
If it does happen it certainly doesn't happen enough for it to be a daily drill.
Bruh, that's like saying smoking doesn't cause lung cancer because if it did my aunt who has smoked all her life wouldn't be cancer free at 85.

CTE is almost necessary to be good at this sport it seems
I'd say some of the protection "bullshyt" the league does now does make the game a lot more safer. Not too many cases of dudes from the post Welker generation getting laid out and shyt like that

Football will always be here. For a lot of people (some of which are on this very forum), the sport defines their masculinity.
It might not always be the most popular sport here though. There was a time when Boxing and Baseball dominated this country. Culture changes happen faster than one thinks

Cause he wants to. Most likely he ain't gonna be one of the 400 or less people drafted or even make it to college. If he does. He'll be 18 and making his own choices
Under that age, it's up to him. If he wants to skateboard will I stop that too? Skiing? Paintball? Hunting? Backyard football? Karate? Golden gloves boxing? Mma?
Stop being an overbearing parent and let your kids grow up like everyone else did. I'm sure we all know a shytload of people who played football in high school and are doing perfectly fine
