I thought this was the Husker Football forum.Borrowed from another site..But interesting topic.

I realize the board I'm asking the question on, but just read up on Chris Henry's brain, and found this to be an interesting article:

Concussions and football: Is the game too dangerous for our kids?
I'm a big fan of the sport, but now that I have a son, I wonder about these kinds of things. I'm sure many more studies will be put out by the time he's old enough to play, but for those of you already in the decision making process, what are your thoughts?
And if I decided to not let him play, then I start to think--should be a fan of something that I wouldn't allow my son to do? A fan of a sport that seems to physically ruin so many during what should be their nicer later years in life? And, dammit, I like boxing, too, so there is that.
I didn't see anything about Husker football discussion in the original post.
If this gets to stay, then 75% of the stuff just as relevant should get to also- don't get mad at me just trying to keep things fair here.
This obviously goes is the more general discussion Big Red Lounge.
