Or just have them sit at home and not live life. These types of articles push a scary agenda in order to try and convince parents to be even more helicopter than before and have the family stay inside and watch the news clutching their pearls.

Whatever. News stations have turned America’s parents into a bunch of terrified over concerned worrywarts. Kids rarely play outside anymore.

It literally says kids should still play sports because the benefits outweigh the risks. Just get them screened for cardiac issues and make sure if they’re injured you give them enough time to recover.

Only after scaring the shit out of parents in an attempt at overblowing the safety risks of sport. I’ve been coaching for years and we get a concussion every now and then but this article is written from a perspective of fear.
