If I was a parent I didn't think I could in good concious let my children play football. I played just in high school and had conclusions and long term knee issues because of it. Basketball scoccer, track swimming tennis etc would be gentle push for sports

Tore my ACL playing football at ten years old. Completely destroyed sports for me growing up. My kids aren't playing football

Agreed. Played organized tackle football from 11 years old through high school. I often wonder how much smarter and more accomplished I would be had I not. I mean I'm not a neanderthal, but I'm not a brain surgeon either. :-(
