    Taron kind of turned his body when taking on the block which put him in a bad position.  
     

    The Hendrickson is terrible and a blatant attempt for a leg whip.  I’m surprised no one called him on it.  Dirty play

    Taron went down and the blocker went above and beyond to smash the back of Taron's head and neck! Super dirty

    Have two ‘tween boys that are starting to specialize.  Definitely pushing them away from football even though (1) i played and have amazing memories and (2) youngest loves football, plays QB on a traveling flag team, is pretty good, etc.

     

    My reasons are more that it’s not a lifelong sport.  Learn to swim, golf, ski, tennis, cycling, etc.  Much healthier activities that you can do for years.

    Learn those lifelong sports after football is over.

    My son will never play football because of CTE concerns, among others.  Nothing to do with what happened last night.

    The game is 10,000 times safer in that regard than when even I was playing. I am only 35. The kids nowadays hit like one time per week plus gameday. We used to hit every day in practice and do drills like "bull in the ring" and "Oklahoma" each practice too. IMO the risk of concussions and CTE in football now is maybe a little more than soccer, basketball or other sports and football is way cooler. I'm of the opinion the positives of participating in football outweigh the negatives. Boys need this type of thing
