Re: Would you want your son playing football?
If my son wanted to play football, I would make sure he's educated about the health risks. Both long term and short term risks involved in playing a contact sport. If at the end of that he still wanted to play, I would let him.

No.
Maybe flag, I guess.

Re: Would you want your son playing football?
My youngest son does play football. I think a kid can get into much worse than football.

Re: Would you want your son playing football?
Corey's point may also be that a young man can get into trouble of other (drugs, crime, etc.) sorts. At least when a boy is playing football, or any other sport for that matter, it may preclude him (or her) from some poor life choices. We know that doesn't always work, but it seems a better way to live a young life... Bc

Re: Would you want your son playing football?
You learn things playing football that you can't learn anywhere else.
Kids aren't getting CTE from playing pop warner ball for a few years. If he is good enough to play high-school, then there is some risk, admittedly, but the chances of a life-altering injury are still low. I would imagine it is much riskier to give a kid a car at age 16 than to allow them to play football. In all likelihood, the kid will turn 18 and never play football again. The real damage begins when you start playing football with the elite athletes that you find in the NCAA/pros.
