Interesting it mentions soccer not being able to get insurance as well, the supposed savior sport we need to be shifting kids to

Headers are dangerous. I think they are pretty much banned below the high school level. Also, soccer really isn't the savior sport. It's too expensive yo play compared to baseball and basketball.

IMO eventually Pop Warner is gonna be a flag football league. And nobody will allow contact until you get to JV or Varsity level in high school.

Honestly, that’s the way it should be... if I had a son, he wouldn’t play until the 9th grade

Big facts I was a beast when playing kill the man wit the ball

We played throw em' up beat em' up with a dusty AF1 many a night.

That feeling when you caught the ball (or shoe lmao) and then seeing everybody grilling before they run after you was always like

I knew I wasn't no running back by the age of 8

Meh, as long as football still has 53 man rosters, and the salary cap continues to increase, and people are still poor, there will always be a market


Its the same with boxing

only because surburban cacs in america want it that way. it's actually one of the cheapest sports to play and why it's popular in the 3rd world. the fact that you associate it with great expense shows how wrong america has it.

Ok, like I said waivers will be signed

So we both agree that they could be on the hook for failure to disclose. Great.

lol@ this exchange
Y’all are both right

That would ruffle the feathers of too many cac soccer moms. We all know football is a majority black sport and a great avenue for wealth for the few lucky ones. So they trying to get that out of here.
