My kids will not be playing football. I don't really care for the culture, nor the physical risks.

I refused to let my kids play tackle football despite being accused by said kids AND their friends that we were being overprotective. Allowed flag football instead; they had just as much fun. Deliberately exposing them to risks of permanent, irreversible damage made 0 sense.

Count us out. The risk is too high. Coaches from college down to pop ignore the injuries and choose to ignore. This extends to Soccer (heading the ball) and hockey. Coaches allow head trauma in practice and games.

If I had a son, I absolutely would let him play football. Learning proper technique at a young age is the key to longevity and overall health later on. No better character building sport than football.

Millions of men have played youth football over the last 50 years. It seems 99% of them have grown up to be functioning adults with no indication of head trauma related illness. What football teaches regarding teamwork and other skills cannot be replicated in other sports.

Basketball, baseball, are just a couple of team sports that teach teamwork So to say ONLY football is capable is over the top in your analysis

4 sons, all play soccer. I realize there is a chance of injury in every sport and soccer players get concussions too, but I'll take my chances with

My kids will definitely not be allowed to play football. Will be interesting to see how the game evolves in the future decades.

After several concussions improperly treated by coaches and trainers, my daughter retired from collegiate soccer. I never wanted my kids to play contact sports again. My son expressed an interest in playing football, I said he could only be a kicker. He is now weightlifting.

Let them play if they want. I am 57, played FB for 6 yrs, BSB catcher for 12. Probably got hurt more falling out of trees, climbing over walls and riding my bike over homemade ramps in the alley. That’s right we used to play rough outside.

Yes I know. It's humor, hence the "haha" at the end.

I got it no tone in this tweet. Just truth. Soccer is not going anywhere

Everyone here saying that they don't want their kids playing, try rugby. I play, my son plays (touch for now) but it's much safer and the culture is the best of any sport I've played. It's growing in the states and boys and girls are welcome to play. Get cipp'd

Yes. I thoroughly enjoyed playing football for 14 years. Virtually no serious injuries to anyone I played with over that time at the high school level or below. College is a different story and something I would discourage.
