Quote:It's just like anything else. Education is key. Football will continue to be the great game it is played on all levels in all demographics throughout the nation. Knowing the risks and and preventative measures (and of course equipment design will get better from a safety stand point) will allow us all to continue to enjoy the game and parents to continue to have their kids in everything from sandlot, pop warner to the pros.

So we don't have to assume that those dumb ghetto dwellers (what the heck is a ghetto anyway?) will be left behind in a cloud of stupid.

Just to reflect back on my own inner city upbringing here in Rochester, when I wasn't in South Bay,FL chasin rabbits outta cane fields, running rampid, honing my skill without even realizing it, me and my boys would go to different parks in the suburbs handing out butt woopins. With ease. Going back to our ghetto huts bumpin some Snoop... Laughin and joking about them weak, slow non athletic opponents
