...and goddamn expensive!! Just wait 'til college years!!

I don't even think 5 and 6 year olds should be playng tackle football. It's ridiculous. They can barely hold themselves up with the equipment on, and there is no technique at all. Too young in my opinion. They should be playing flag football, then maybe around 10 years old, tackle.

5 and 6 year olds should be at home under a warm blanket watching baby Einstein and having remote tracking devices, synapse enhancement chips and nanobot defense sentries embedded in their brains.

And if they are very good and select the right products to buy during commercial breaks they can have some yogurt in their Feeding tube

I opted to play baseball in HS, but played a lot of football at home without pads.

Injuries happen in any sport as we know. If you or your kids play anything scared they have a better chance at getting hurt. If a person plays without fear and loves what they are doing, they will learn that injuries happen. More than likely a serious injury will not occur, but who knows. I had a couple of fingers broken when someone slid past 2nd base where I played in HS. Slid cleats up into my throwing hand and bent my fingers back and broke them. That is the worst injury I think I ever had in school, I was lucky.

Now I play racquetball which people like RS make fun of until they play someone decent. I've had two worse injuries playing racquetball than any other sport. Dislocated shoulder, sprained AC joint. Most painful injury I've ever had. I couldn't even lift my arm above my chest for three weeks, it was awful. Two years later it still hurts from time to time and I have a huge knot on my shoulder. Other injury was playing doubles and got hit with a racket in the bridge of my nose, broke it.

I don't care what a kid plays there are risks. Let them try different sports and they will tell you what they want to do. You shouldn't lead them one way or another, they will ask you if they want to play a sport.

Those wary about letting their kids play football...are you not going to let them drive either?
