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..

:what:

I'd wouldn't let him play until high school. If he really wanted to play by then he would have a long enough time to think about it.

I'd also make him research head, back, neck and knee injuries. He's got to tell me about the latest recovery time and long term affects of the most common injuries.

If he wants to play after all that how could I deny him of his dream.

I always wondered this as well :ohhh:

Not many people watch boxing. even less people attempt to box. MMA is the same as football and boxing. I wouldn't let my son compete in mma/boxing. He can train all he wants. He can compete when he leaves the house if he chooses.

I'd let him play flag until high school, and if that's the only sport he's really good at I'd let him play high school ball Obviously, he can choose to play college if he's good enough.

However, I'd prefer if he played another sport, but I wouldn't deny him the chance of being a collegiate athlete if that is what he was good at.

not all football positions give head injury and most of getting head injuries deals with how you play too

They do make the bread. In total they make the most in the U.S. They just have the most players to split the money with. That's why the individuals on average make less.

Boxing isn't as dangerous as Football is on a long-term mental/physical health level though.
