I'm listening to NPR right now as I straighten up the house and they're talking about the trends in kids playing gridiron football. Those with higher incomes have reduced their kids playing football by over 20%. Interestingly, those with a lower income have increased their kids playing football also by over 20%. This is fascinating but not surprising given the high profile cases like Aaron Hernandez. And those from lower income backgrounds see football as a way out. What are your thoughts on kids playing football? I enjoy watching the NFL and sometimes college ball but I sometimes feel conflicted watching people who may eventually have brain injuries in part for my own entertainment.
I would NEVER allow my child to play football or any violent sport for that matter. Fortunately, my kid loves golf and will sometimes watch soccer (football) with me.
