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 Dismissive viewpoint. Education needed. And driving cars (car accidents), and eating food (might choke). Your black and white response isn't helpful. We need to eat food even though people choke to death every day. Nobody needs to play football, and since we learned it is harmful, to dismiss it as you tried to do, is naive.

@FlowersNButterflies no one needs to, but they want to. You can't stand anyone that disagrees without viewpoint.

Education is key in all sports.

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.
