Is Freshman Football Dying?

This is a great thread and it has made me wonder something, how many of these kids really "LOVE" football? If not for Parents making them play, how many would actually play? Just curious what some of your thoughts on that are. From my experience I would guess that 75% play because daddy makes them. Thoughts?

And when I see how some parents "Party" on Friday night, that only leads me to this type of thoughts. Perhaps this belongs in another topic.

Actually, I think today there might be more parents pushing kids not to play football than parents pushing hard on kids to play. The injury concerns have parents, especially moms, worried. There are more concussions in soccer (men's and women's) than there are in football. There are more injuries in basketball than there are in football. Yet there is a perception out there now that football is highly dangerous. I believe that is impacting numbers in football.
