Bo Jackson: "I wouldn't let my kids play football"
A few months ago, Bo said this:
“If I knew back then what I know now,’’ Jackson tells USA TODAY Sports, “I would have never played football. Never. I wish I had known about all of those head injuries, but no one knew that. And the people that did know that, they wouldn’t tell anybody. On one hand, the game would've missed out on an incredible talent that was so fun to watch. On the other, he might've had a 10+ year career for our MLB team. |

They're just Broncos. That doesn't count. Deron Cherry could blow him up like he was a bridge across the Rhine.

Remove the face mask. Problem solved.
But no way that will happen because our society is so into looking cool and they have become so soft that a few bloody noses would stop this snowflake generation in a heartbeat. Just saying. |

Yeah and he would've been even more badass for even longer for the Royals if he would have gave baseball his full focus.

Football is my favorite sport. I love the NFL and it's not going anywhere because it will always represent a doorway to a way of life that could not be achieved any other way by a portion of the population.
There is no ****ing way I am letting either of my sons play football outside of flag. |

If my son decides he wants to play football, he will have my support. I'm curious as to why there are so many in this thread saying they will not let their sons play football. The risk from playing peewee football up through high school is much less than playing college or NFL football.

If he wants to play, he will get to, and I will not give him a hard time if he chooses not to. In the past, there was a lot of pressure to play. If I even thought about not playing it would have gotten ugly. |
