My son played youth Football until last year so 10 years old. Never was injured once playing (Running Back, Safety). My wife and I decided to pull him after last season after doing some research. Then last Lax season first tournament he gets hit legit hit but smacked his head on the ground - Concussion, so you never know. With that said my son breaks my balls to play Football everyday. I told him 9th grade we will revisit the conversation. He also plays Basketball and Deck Hockey. Just my 2 cents but kids should 100% play different sports... Good luck to all in your upcoming seasons, hopefully the stupidity will end on this thread...
