2632: Standing on a Ladder

[1goodI]

If my son (now only 5 months old) wants to play tackle football I will let him play. Mind you I have no expectations or need for him to go pro earn a scholarship etc.

I played football and I turned out fine. Yes I got my bell rung and other injuries. It's ok. As long as the kid has some interest and you take the time to guide him as the parent (bcs that's your job). If the coach or the league is too aggressive you can pull your kid out.

Football and other athletics help teach young boys cooperation, team work, how to fight back, stick up for your friend and stand up for yourself among others. The world is tough, and in this life you need to learn how to walk it off, suck it up, and yes even stop crying.

I plan on sending this kid to art classes as well as football practice. My personal experience with pee wee football was both good and bad. To be honest I was a kid who needed a helmet and pads. They were put to use well beyond football.

It's not a happy go lucky world where everyone gets along. A little adversity is good for him. Playing football is not going to turn him into a predator or misogynists. There is a risk for major injury but slight ridk. Again I believe that depends more on the league and coaches.

I'm not recommending you push your kid into football, I'll allow but not push my own child. I also do not plan on pacifying him from every little thing which may cause him pain. What's worse a knee injury or being scared to walk barefoot in the grass. Or god forbid touch a peanut?

Sorry 1goodI, but I'm over you.

RJ is the latest flavor.

I hope the kid you never have kills you.

Oh Keith ... thank you for the quality entertainment you provide on a daily basis.

We're friends now somehow and that's great.

No issues I take full responsibility for my past reckless rants and starting shit on the forums. It was fun picking fights with you in the past but I've matured in my internet behavior.

And why do you just assume I'm ok now then?

What the fuck is wrong with you guys?

That was your apology?

Well I'm not ready yet. Fuck you.
