I realize there is a lot of focus on the long term health implications of playing football, but have you actually done the research? Obviously it's up to each parent to protect their children how they see fit, but there is an intelligent debate behind this without defaulting to ridicule for the other side. Just throwing this out there, but here is an interesting perspective from the other side...the same % chance your child could get a concussion from driving a car. Are you also going to say parents who continue to let their kids drive cars "breathtakingly stupid"?
