But even the lawyers can't hold a candle to mothers. The best point I've heard raised about football's precarious position is the fact that mothers will NOT let their sons play football if they believe the risk of harm is too great.
“... the fact that mothers will NOT let their sons play football if they believe the risk of harm is too great”.
Perhaps with some Moms... the type that force their little boys to play with dolls and wear a sweater in July. NOT this Mom! My son plays high school football and I have seen firsthand the benefits: physical fitness, male bonding, working together as a team, and that translates into focus in grades. I think “football” Moms may be a different breed... do we pray and hope no child gets injured? Yes. However, we are also the first ones cheering a good “hit” and a good play. Football doesn’t worry me much... that fact that he will be driving soon has me TERRIFIED!
