This is why we don’t let our kids play any sport that involves getting your head whacked on a regular basis.
Rugby is a good alternative that’s taking off lately.
It sounds and looks a lot more dangerous than football. But when you don’t wrap people in a bunch of pads so they feel indestructible, they stop acting like they are.
Plus there’s not the “every inch matters” mentality. It’s better to go down in a controlled manner to retain ball position, and people do t get a 30 second break for every 10 seconds of play. So people aren’t repeatedly going into contact at full speed, getting their bell ru g, and recovering just enough to do it again a minute later.
Is your “n” key broken?
Nah, huge hands and tiny phone
Yet here in the south they spend millions on high-school football while all other education gets nothing.
I played high school football and received a few concussions. One year I received 4 and only missed 4 plays. Now I’m almost 40 and my memory is getting worse. I know I have CTE and if I had boys that wanted to play, I would drive them straight to soccer tryouts.
Same. I’ve had multiple concussions (one from football when I was a kid) and my memory sucks, too.
I’ve heard soccer’s pretty bad with it too. Maybe badminton is the answer.
Pickleball it is!
Chess or bust.
Always sunny showed me Chess could be just as dangerous. ♠️🕳️
Not on the same league… Football is way worse
I’m sorry dude, that sucks.
“Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated trauma to the head.”, according to Wikipedia
I am surprised that no one has tried to link this to vaccines yet
