    No one is forcing the kids to play. That is a decision for the parents and the kids to make.

    There are plenty of long term health risks associated with playing football. CTE being a significant one. Are you outraged that they continue to play considering those other risks?

    You bring up another long term health risk that is associated and it is a very valid point. Outraged, is not the word I would use. We are in Texas so I am not surprised. Like I mentioned in my previous post. The risk to reward ratio is not good in my opinion. So is your thought why worry about people that obviously don't really think it's a big deal or even care?

    Last I checked, a kid sitting in a classroom in front of a football player can't get CTE from the football player.
