Follow me to the truth
They trying to make it seem like every person that ever plays football will have or has some type of brain damage. That means millions of men are brain damaged concussed muafukkas just waiting to commit suicide.

Yeah....my son is have St. Vincentian. But I take full credit for his athleticism....although he has his mothers track legs, not my tree trunks.
My YOUNGEST son legs looks like he's been doing squats, and he's only 2.
I have plans for him....

to fatherhoodBut this thread hits home. I played football but i didn't start till I was 14. My nephew LOVES football...way more than I ever did. He'll play my old Madden 2004 for hours and he still thinks Michael Vick is real
Soccer is just for fun, football is his passion but his mother won't let him play. But he's still small. I'll see what kind of body he ends up with before I push the issue...
Black kids play soccer, tho
Not down here they don't. It's all white folks. They don't have soccer sign ups at any of the black parks I see.

Don't include football or John Goodman is going to show up on your doorstep with a pamphlet.
been playing tackle football since i was 6 years old. the closest i came to an injury was getting the wind knocked out of me at practice one evening.
and mind you, my 1st year there, our team didnt have a squad for my weight class(55lb & under) so me and about 5 or so other players my age were stuck on the 65lb team with older cats. and we actually got playing time and even got the ball against scrub teams. altho, when playing against elite squads & teams of bigger stature, we got limited PT, only played defense and they basically hid us on defense like we were steve nash or somebody. so yea, no injuries.
the best part is that it served as a refuge for me because i couldnt relate to most of the silly @$$ cartoonish, hide-n-seek-loving kids in my school. playing basketball & football allowed me to be around an abundance of kids my age & older that shared the same interests. it also molded me into being a more astute & discipline-minded young man at an early age thanks to the structure i had going from school to wherever in between(it varies) to the football field. and of course, thanks to my folks, i was already on track to be that way, but football was a reassurance of sorts.

You've seen the studies showing CTE in brains of football players who've never played in the NFL, like college and high school players, correct?
So far, from the knowledge that the first concussion causes less force to next the next one, less for the next after that, etc, and the likelihood that subconcussive hits are also a factor, it would follow that limiting exposure to these hits is a good idea.
To Football's Detriment, the Pop Warner Five-Concussion Football Game Won't Be The Last Of Its Kind - Forbes
you can sit a kid out til he's 15, and he can get a concussion with his first tackle
limiting the amount of football a kid plays, doesn't limit the actual damage that can be done
this is the first thing every mother has been told since dudes were dieing in the early 1900s...it doesn't MATTER
Its an accepted risk the moment you step on the field. Every tackle we make, we know we're at risk for a spinal injury. The thought of paralysis didn't stop football for 100+ years. but concussions will?
The same kids that wanted to play football will. The same kids that were scared to play football won't. Lets stop :fight: and play some ball.
