Allowing your kid to play football is parental malpractice.
“Allowing your kid to play football is parental malpractice.”
I talked to a guy in his 50’s who just had a knee replacement. He said it was caused by an old high school football injury. He played linebacker and was about 5’5”. I asked him if he wishes he hadn’t played football. He said yes. He’s never going to go anywhere in football at 5’5.
Went to high school with a guy who tore up his knee in high school football. Bothered him the rest of his life.
Why? There are a lot safer sports.
My mother did not want me to play...”why are those big people falling on each other?”
First time I played tackle football(only 10 years old)...it was so exhilarating I knew I was gonna’ play...so my mom relented....but I had season ending injuries...but I loved it....young men roughhousing is part of growing up as a rough man..it’s too bad it glamourized..it’s just a way for young strong men to run and chase and capture things. Lots of fun till you get so strong and big that the kinetic energy expended tears up bodies, and body tissues..
So you couldn’t make the team huh?
