We all grew up playing sports and we all are perfectly fine. This country has grown to overreact to everything. Do sports have risk of injury, yes, but kids get hurt playing with their friends and siblings everyday. If you took away everything your kid could hurt themselves with they wouldn't have much of a life now would they? I am all for trying to find ways to make sports as safe as possible but it's getting alittle much. Let's just all shelter our kids so they spend all their time sitting indoors playing playstation getting fat while learning nothing about teamwork and setting goals. I am glad I am not a 9 year old in this day and age because it's a joke. A parent that grew up playing football telling their kid they can't play because it is too dangerous is like an alcoholic parent who tells their kid they shouldn't drink.
