“In the poll, 44 percent of parents weren’t comfortable with their child playing football...Only five percent, though, said they have discouraged their child from playing.”

Why the discrepancy?

Easy, football gives one set of parents BRAGGING RIGHTS over the non-football parents. Worth a bunch of concussions and early-onset old-timers disease, I guess, to most of those parents.

And they get to sue for money later on, as long as there's no statue of limitations!
