President Obama choose Dr. Martin Luther King day to say he would not let his son (if he had one) play football. Presumably it is better for Barack Obama's non-existent son to join the Choom Gang, play video games, and eat munchies all day long (maybe Skittles). But to Barack Obama's credit, he did smoke tobacco too, so that kept him from getting fat.
I am all for safety in youth sports, but pee wee, junior high and high school football are not at the same level of intensity as college football and none of those levels are the NFL. You can adjust the rules for kids and at each stage of a player's career/life to address safety and still have a hard hitting NFL. When you have large adults running into each other, professional football is always going to be dangerous.

Being a kid, especially a boy kid, means you get banged up.
ReplyDeleteSitting on the couch creates the kind of lethargic, passive, submissive, unmotivated human being that will vote for a phony Messiah like Barack Hussein Obama, mm, mm, mm.
