I don’t know what sports, if any, my two year-old boy will want to play but it makes me sad that I don’t think I can responsibly let him play football. I’m even a little concerned about soccer. I played all kinds of sports and the only concussion I ever got was while water-skiing. I guess I got another in high school when some punk sucker-punched me. I was seeing weird squiggly lines for my whole eighth period. But that wasn’t too bad. The water skiing wipeout had me in bed for two days and lethargic for a week. Part of me thinks that football and soccer are awesome team sports that I loved playing. Part of me doesn’t want my kid getting dementia in his sixties.
Overprotective Parent?
