January 20, 201412 yr Yea right. Obama is a sissy. No way he ever has a son that could play football because you have to be a man to do that. Maybe he will wear a helmet to play checkers. Edited January 21, 201412 yr by spindoc
January 20, 201412 yr Really, we're going to make this an issue? Kurt Warner said he won't let his sons play either. Was everyone upset about that? FWIW, I plan on strongly discouraging any of my future sons from playing football. JMO, but you have to be a little crazy to play above the high school level.
January 20, 201412 yr If your kid is good enough as an adult , how you plan on stopping him? How will he be good enough as an adult? He's 14 now and I forbid him to play. If he can magically become good enough to play football as an adult without playing since he was 7 then he needs to magically turn his A's and B's into all A's if you ask me. He can magically hit me up with some cash and a 2014 Lexus IS 350 as well.

Strahan for example didn't play until his senior year in high school. When did Antonio Gates start playing? My point is, how is Obama planning on stopping his make believe ADULT son from doing something?

I think the point is, it takes an extremely rare and gifted athlete that would be able to make it at that point, having never played before. I think Gates played youth football and in high school as well, but I could be mistaken.

January 21, 201412 yr I'm not going to let my youngest kid play football but I'm not Obama so I guess it isn't news. I'm probably not gonna let my son play (In the event I'm lucky enough to have one) football as well.

Not an issue, just something to make fun of. My son will play football, less chance he gets hurt doing that than driving a car. Let him play soccer so he can get kicked in throat and die, no thanks. Let him play basketball so he can get undercut and hit head on hard wood floor. No thanks Let him bass fish so he can drown, no thanks. Let him run track so he can have heart attack, no thanks. Let him play baseball so he can get hit by 90mph fastball in head, no thanks. Let him play volleyball, he ain't a transgender so no way that happens. Let him be on academic team so he can get migraines and sprain his thumb, no thanks. Everything we do has risk, even going to work, ask the people at the WTC that went on 9-11

He was recruited by Nick Saban at Michigan State.
January 21, 201412 yr Author How many kids even play sports and never get hurt or only get hurt a little like sprain or pulled muscle. More of them than those who get hurt. We only hear the bad cases and there are few of them.

Everything we do has risk, even going to work, ask the people at the WTC that went on 9-11 Clearly injury risk is present in every sport, however football (along with boxing and mma) is the only one that's actual purpose is to violently engage in repeated physical contact with others. I'll take my chances with all the other sports you mentioned.

January 21, 201412 yr Something being forgotten though is the fact that Football has the most protective equipment. And yet it still does the most permanent damage.
