Quote:The issue is not with the sport being sissy-fied but rather the players willingness to take the risk in exchange for millions of dollars then turning around and suing the NFL.  Just look at the Junior Seau saga -- blaming football  --- then having thier kids play the sport.   The sport has its risks, as does lacrosse, soccer, and walking across the street.  Every day, about a million kids put on their pads and play football...

Yes, they do and I have the great honor of coaching 23 of those children. That's why I make sure that everyone on my staff knows, despite the fact that the players will dramatize any injury, that I do not want any injury or complaint of injury to the head to go unchecked. I know the risks, and I make sure that each player and parent knows the risk involved. I'm not focusing so much on the legal aspect, but rather the loss of life that occurred due to playing football.
