But it's now an open fact that kids (who, lets remind ourselves, are not mature enough[1] to make the decision themselves) who play American Football in High School are damaging their brains. It's akin to having a high school based lesson where the teacher walks around the classroom repeatedly hitting every boy on the head with a baseball bat. If that was a thing, as a parent you would never stand for it. However you happily let your your child suffer the same cranial damage out on the football field simply because it's 'cool' to have a kid on the team. As a parent, my mind boggles at this. -- [1] https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority
