Why we need to end football, especially for kids

The movie, "Concussion", with Will Smith was well done. Loving parents will not let their kids play football.

Might as well ban all kids sports then? There's an element of risk for all sports

@Gangstress @FlowersNButterflies "you could get killed walking your doggy" yep better off never leaving the house

You don't want to understand voluntary versus involuntary risk @Gangstress

@Gangstress You don't have to end all sports, just take a look at the frequency and type of injury in each sport, you will find some are an unnecessary risk. TBI can have lifelong consequences.

Ridiculous. Why not ban all sports? And hobbies then? And anything that involves any potential risk of getting injured (which pretty much can be anything as simple as crossing over the road)

Honey, read the posts. Read the link. Nobody likes to duplicate. Waste of time, isn't it.@GLITTER

I played football and then coached as well. Would not want to have missed the friends and kids I worked with in those years.

CTE is a good reason not to have any contact sports.

Don't need to watch it. I have worked the ER on Sunday nights. The football is held Saturday followed by the Saturday night piss up. They don't begin to feel their injuries till Sunday afternoon. Bunch of morons.

You have zero clues about what you just said. @ExperienceDLT

@FlowersNButterflies go wrap your kids in bubble wrap if you choose but trying to get football banned is a sport is beyond stupid

Actually, you are quite backwards here. And your second failure - I never had kids. I am interested in the well-being of society. You are interested in self gratification. . @ExperienceDLT
