Saying out loud that you want your kid to play soccer not football is UNAMERICAN. He has to be a fucking Russian.

For the record. Both Baconz Jr. and Hambone play football. As a parent Baconzgood does worry alot about concussions. Baconzgood recieved alot learning how to skate and playing ice hockey. But, i also worry about my kids falling out of trees, getting beat up and stuffed in a locker, burning them selves making that great mac&cheese recipe that wonkette showed us, not looking both ways when crossing a street at 30. They play tennis, and basketball too. You can fuck yourself up on tennis, or even competitive swimming (ex-mrs. Baconz fucked her head up during a diving competition).

The point is yes, wether it be hockey, baseball, wrestling, or playing horse shoes. You can never protect yourself. Just minimize the risk.

We have air bags? Football can be minimized .

So when i hear this stuff on football...Baconz Jr. hurt himself MORE when he was on the Track & field team.

And you want to seriously hear about injuries...gymnastics. But no one screams that 17 year old girls need to even wear elbow pads on the balance beam?

Why is that? I never understood why working the uneven bars was less dangerous than a guy smashing you in your padded shins with a hockey stick.

Is it because its self inflicted?

Just askin' what do you think?

Artificial impeachment is terrible. Everyone knows that free-range, organic impeachment is the best. Mmmmm. Impeachment.

Kids with genetic hereditary bone spurs and large trust funds are usually exempted from school football.

Whenever the dotard says "people from (group) are calling and thanking me for (dotardly action)", the interviewer needs to reply, "Can you name one?"

Since we know our Shitgibbon can't stay in the sane world for more than 30 minutes at a time, I'm wondering how the fuck he's gonna deliver the SOTU tomorrow. And, though I know there are (many) people more balanced than me, I'm wondering how the majority of people in that chamber will manage to avoid shouting, lighting torches, taking up pitchforks, and storming the dais.

I think with football, the risk of CTE doesn't come from concussions, but repeated lower level thumps to the head that accumulate over time.

There was a study not long ago where they looked at autopsy results from people that played. Basically all the NFL players had CTE, along with many of the ones that played in college and even some that only played in high school.

"There's a time and place to protest."This is coming from President White Into Orange. Who is saying it to (mostly) black people. So, not surprising that he's a racist pos.

My mother is a neuroscience researcher. Respectfully, you should be more worried.

Body damage is one thing. Brain damage is quite another. My boys can do most anything that will fulfill them, even if it’s physically risky, but they will play tackle football over my cold, dead body.
