Then how will all the lard-ass has been's and never were's live vicariously though their children?

That's exactly what those parents are. Pathetic.

What if my kids want to play football? I'm still pathetic?

Nah, it's the parents that force their kids into playing a certain sport.

What if my kids want to play football? I'm still pathetic?

Yes, but for entirely different reasons.



HTH.

 

[sexyMFer]

I'm still a bad parent because they could get injured though?

 

[sexyMFer]

Yes, but for entirely different reasons.

If your kids want to play and the school you send them to has a program and is aware and prepared for head injuries I see no problem. If you catch a TBI within the first hour you have a chance of a normal life. It's these backwoods programs that treat concussions like a bump on the head and no one acknowledging that it's incredibly dangerous to play. We are supposed to progress as a society. Football is not above reproach. There isn't anything that can't be replaced besides your brain. That is what keeps you alive. It's what keeps you you. Small bleeds on the brain can put you in a freaking diaper. It's serious and it happens to kids all the time. Is that the life you'd want for your kids? Drooling and not able to communicate? No walking? Is it worth the risk?

That probably happens more often riding a bike but those stories don't make the news
