Football should be abolished. RE: Traumatic Brain Injury

[PICK3]

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?

You're knot a D.O.

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

There are actually more head injuries from bicycle accidents in football.


However, The number of people riding bikes compared to those that play football is much much higher. As well as the majority of head injuries incurred while riding are due to the fact that the person was not wearing a helmet.

And I'll take your word for it but I've never seen anyone ride a bicycle during a football game

What's the number of has-been's that force their kid to ride bikes vs forcing them to play football? Feel free to make up a statistic.

87% of all statistics are made up on the spot, and 60% of the time someone falls for it every time.
