[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 9440539, member: 6807152"] Yeah me too, my Dad and I had a number of discussions over it. He coached Football for decades, I grew up playing it, and it was around when all this started to make noise with various NFL players getting in the news (Junior Seau being a big one) when I said "Hey man, I get it this is part of your life's work, but I've got the damage, and I was out on the edge, not in the trenches getting a micro concussion every 30 seconds.". Its something I've debated with most of my sons life, I wanted him to play football, but in the end I'm not sure the damage is worth it, so we didnt put him in it. My Dad continues to push the 'yeah but Soccer..' and I just say 'well then maybe there are other things we should be doing to build character'. Then again, my son insisted on doing Muay Thai when he was younger, but never got into the sparring side before he grew out of it... [/QUOTE]
